Requiem for Justice
Ancient memories thrust
beckon, tease
cast themselves forth
determined to intrude their
eloquent entreaties
force entry
go against my attempt to forget, they
hack into the present
ignore that everything is different now
justice lost its purchase, had the wind
knocked out of it with punches and blows
lead by the enforcers
masterminded by the spinners
no lawful recourse for
opening the system, no
peace
queries go unanswered
raised concerns
stomped down
traction of the idea of justice skids
uncontrollably
what’s
vital to restoration, to healing?
watch and wake
eXamine and act
you and I are the ones to change the course
zero in then welcome
ancient memories’ return
