Lady Justice

Blindfold, and a weighing scale
 A symbol of senselessness to identity
Eyes closed from the world that I see 
Tell me how justice is within your reach?

 Where does my dear friend, morality, sits? Why blindness as a prerequisite for impartiality? Blindness is ignorance. Ignorance of race, class and gender for the reason of equality. Is it possible for justice to be accomplished with ignorance? Maybe, Lady Justice, you should unveil your eyes. See the world they way I see. For a certain race, a certain class, and a certain gender has been a constant target of the law. 'Justified' as an act of serving justice.

The rich remains the ruler for which the poor are subservient to. As such the law is a tool that exploits, with your eyes blinded by the cloth. Perhaps, Lady Justice, you were personified out of jest. As a subtle insult to your womanhood, to prove emotional-driven 'irrationality' that may exist if your eyes were opened. As a fallacious symbol to justify justice as 'objective', by those who exploit power. You are just a symbol of human imperfection that exists, to me.

But silly thing, I may so say. That despite your eyes blinded to signify objectivity, there is universality in the heart of every individual. We seek the same basic justice, peace, love and harmony. But it is our subjective perception of the world we hopelessly think, will take us there differently. So maybe, open your eyes Lady Justice, and see. Open your eyes to see and understand diversity. Because everybody has a story.

  You've been blindfolded for  much too long now.
