Why Is Justice Blind?(Does it not Want to See the Truth?)...

What is the measure,
by what scales do you judge?
When does the cup overflow,
what is too much?
Looking for flaws in me,
you need not look far,
know them myself all too well,
have kept them hidden in the root cellar
in dusty and rusted mason jars.

What are your reasons,
what do you seek?
Proof of your convictions
or that the prospects are indeed bleak?
We punish ourselves because we know all too well
the fears that deter us from believing in others and ourselves.

Move beyond your limitations,
make of yourself a new creation
Listen first, then ask the question
with curiosity and not dissension
For the road to hell is indeed
paved with good intentions...
