Justice is Just This
By: Aadil Malik
What is justice?
This unapparent fairness
Supposed to combine rather than divide Just a word that likes to hide
This unapparent fairness
What is justice?
Justice, is between you and if you are righteous
And you might just be righteous,
But you don’t have the intelligence of the truths of real justice.
Justice, is merely impossible because we have created injustice.
And just this.
It may be a tongue twister to read
But justice is a twist of the tongue indeed
A twist of the lung, you can’t breathe
A twist of the fun, full of hypocrisy and greed
A fake term misused, abused of its creed
Our mouths say justice, but injustice is what we really speakAnd just this.

...The poem "Justice is Just This" by Aadil Malik is an example of mercy, this poem is showing that rather than justice, mercy is the way. "supposed to combine rather than divide"(line 3) is a line in the poem saying that justice divides us good from bad, where mercy combines people as one "pure" whole. "Our mouths say justice, but injustice is what we really speak."(line 16) I believe that this line means we percieve justice as a common present, but really it isn't there. if justice really seperates good from evil, where does mercy fall?...
