Lady Justice
Where are you sweet Justice
I thought I heard your name
While wandering in the darkness
And then the moment came
When your truth arose to shatter
The beliefs within my mind
For the two-edged sword you carry
Cuts from either side
There within your hand
The inequity of your scale
Sways over a land
The hand of Justice failed
Detached from what you’d done
You did not see your sin
Blinded by obscurity
Opposition won again
Remove your veil sweet Justice
And open up your eyes
Perhaps the day will come
When you’ll sprout wings and rise
To point your blade towards evil
By measuring the weight
Of truth that lies within
The heart of each debate
O’ kiss the wounds of children
With your pallid lips
And touch the scars of women
With your stone-cold fingertips
Heal the broken-hearted
By descending from your throne
Embrace with retribution
Those who seek you as their own
Where are you sweet Justice
Can’t you hear your children cry
Your name throughout the ages
Sweet Justice do not die

Screaming Blood
Begotten by such anguish
And forced against her will
To lie against a brother
Who tore at her until
His broken mind was vanquished
By a demon near the bed
He won the war against her
By remaining in her head
With repetitious warnings
That she dare not disobey
Or everything she covets
Would somehow go away
Oh mutilated woman
And impure little girl
Without a voice to cry
And no one in the world
To lead you to salvation
From all the filthy men
Who prey upon your innocence
Just because they can
Her broken heart still wanders
To a place covered in stains
Surrounded by her silence
The screaming blood remains

Small Voices
Listen to small voices
Look for sorrow in their eyes
Hear their stifled whimpers
At the hands of the despised
Who walk with smiling faces
Despite the agony
They inflict upon the helpless
When no one else can see

The Renaissance Man – a story in 100 words
“All sects are different, because they come from men; morality is everywhere the same, because it comes from God.” -Voltaire
Now it is high time for change as I peruse this land
With forethought to eliminate the things I understand
To be the cause that separates mankind from one another
Destroying ties that bind a sister from her brother
As I look down I recognize religions built with hands
Have lifted up great barriers that prevent each man
From crossing roads of freedom to love another soul
Religion set a border line and this is not love’s goal
As I look up I realize that the author of our love
Had set no limitations on this gift from up above
