Calling for justice: A poem 

Can we profoundly wish that there be justice and fairness for all? 

When those in power have advertently and cruelly abused these at every call 

The narrative of justice has been met with hypocrisy since the beginning of time 

The powerful clutch at the status quo with impunity and continue in crime 

Such integrity-lacking misadventures have besieged us at every perceivable juncture 

Powerful nations have victimised lesser contemporaries in a seemingly ruthless culture 

There is no collective will, but the will of oligarchies that supersedes the moral benefits 

Humanity goes abegging in a callous world order; alleged legislation only the mighty befits 

Wars are contrived to suit the cartels much to the depredation of victimised nations 

And religion has always been weaponised to dominate others without patience 

Even ordinary individuals seek to gain ascendance by demeaning their neighbours 

It is not wrong to cynically surmise that justice is docked at unsafe and insecure harbours 

Have we any clue that even the most underprivileged human is equal in God’s tenacious eyes? 

That our cruel pursuits annihilate divine codes of conduct and justice hopelessly dies 

Let our eyes not be occluded by the propaganda, let astuteness alone prevail 

That we be intrepid in following a righteous path, for ultimate justice to avail
