Justice

Give me this wisdom--
The intelligence that pierces
and warns the vulnerable heart;
Not to enter an occupied soul
and to dance with a chained serenade.

Give me a shield of stone
That would push away all kinds of threat;
Songs of dreams and wonder
that, in reality, is but a jar of poison and curses

Give me eyes of truth
that sees the danger coming
in the presence of angels carrying wings of demons
and contaminated blessings

Hope is just around
But I need to be slick and keen
not to choose the used ones
and depend on rusting love.

Why does good have to be repaid with evil?
When all they offer is sincerity and faithfulness
And what they get in return is sorrow and betrayal?

Why does innocence have to be abused
and tortured all over
when all it gives is purity and selflessness?


When this child becomes a soldier,
These monsters should prepare for their death--
For justice will come for the naive,
and the culprits will be punished.
