Justice Adjourned

I looked up at the clear black sky

The darkness looped the doom 

Not a single star was shining 

Not a ray to dispel the gloom.

Challenges faced were many

Truth was out to stare 

Stare at, all those bloody hands

That had killed without a care.

Crackdowns and exposures 

Highlights of all news

Arrests and mudslinging 

Consequences of sharing views.

Are we right in trusting 

People whom we trust 

Protectors and offenders

Joining hands for lust.

Death of their conscience 

Ethics already burnt 

Blinded and steered by power

Justice remains adjourned.

We know by now who did it 

Murmurs all around 

What we need is 

Conclusive action 

Divulge the facts

That have been found.

This isn’t the time 

To change sides

This isn’t the time to sway

Don’t let the truth 

Be slandered now

In this dirty power play. 

Living within steely walls

In your plush cocoon

How long will you stay protected 

The truth will be out soon.
