A Dialogue Between Power and Justice
This Poem explores the eternal struggle between Power and Justice.
Power:
I am what I am : It is all you must know,
People realize me when they face my heat.
Justice:
Without me, you show a devilish instinct,
If you leave me, your future is totally bleak.
Power:
I feel pity on you , your lofty claim and name,
You always try to wipe the tears of the weak.
It is ‘I’ who command the destiny of the world,
You only echo the voices of the timid and meek.
Justice:
I tremble at your arrogant and faithless words,
What by this boundless pride you want to seek.
It is you who bring havoc and ruin on the globe,
It is you who trample the peace under your feet.
Power:
Come out from dark alley, under the glare of Sun,
It is ‘I’ who decide your bottom, height and peak.
It is ‘I’ who give dictates to the faith and belief,
I repeat your name just to hit a winning streak.
I do what I like; For me, my will is the eternal word,
Cowards then cry that moral codes I always break.
I am slave to none; No one can challenge my gun,
You then lead the poor victims with groan and shriek.
