Truth and Justice

Veritas = VAIR-ee-taws Aequitas = EK-wee-taws I recently watched the Boondock Saints, and their speech at the Courtroom wrote this poem for me Truth Justice Veritas Et Aequitas Two principles which every one lives by Now do not kill, do not rape, do not steal All men and faiths Can agree Never Sin Evil Beckons Those of us Who do not know So shepherds we shall be, for thee my Lord Do not corrupt yourself, for I shall come If you ignore My warning And you Fall

I have not seen the Boondock Saints, Molly, but your poem is filled with so much positive inspiration that perhaps I should! I love the poem and especially the way you use this challenging form. Best wishes, Carolyn
