Love and Justice: A poem

Love is cherishing a moment well-spent

Justice is the righting for eternity’s length

Love is golden and worth a goldmine

Justice is an arduous mountain every soul should climb

Love is a simple and selfless thing

Justice is complex but worth every blessing

Love is the paradise we all are looking for

Justice has been denied and therefore

we cannot embark upon the haloed shores

of universal salvation until we do the chores

of paying contritely for our crimes

and change the course of obdurate times

Only justice can manifest God’s truth

Love will only humbly follow suit
