Can we simplify justice?
So that everyone
Can understand it.
Can justice have a heart
Like a man’s heart?
Not a labyrinth
Not a maze in a palace garden
Not an overgrown city in a Si-Fi picture;
But a flower
Growing towards the light
A flower made of light
Where light makes flowers.
Can we simplify justice?
Remove the splinters
Heal the bruises;
How simplified can justice be?
Is it
Wrong to say justice is simple
Easy to understand
Teachable to children
Memorable
Easier to pass than a math’s exam
Close to the heart
Of God and man
Like the food we eat and digest
A table of justice
Where everyone can sit down –
No – it is truly right.
