Written: September 09, 2023 ______________________________________________________________ In the area of dominion, where elitism wields Altruism flickers as a beam of light in the field. Some may consider this a sort of implausibility. Yet, verity and equity will steer our ability. Such as the animism axiom in every soul, We strive for fairness to impel us whole. Opulence and wealth may blind the eye. But optimism onslaught will never die. In the realm of idealism, we descry our stem, A scarcity of tolerance we must condemn. For in the recesses of our staggering minds, We beget the power to endow kind. People gleam with optimism and bliss. Yet vanity often convoys to amiss. Sailing through zeal with mounting tension, Violence mutates the soul's contention. Happiness and bitterness tread hand in hand. On the edge of hunger in an indigence-stricken land. The clamor for a vindicatory grapple grows. As the judiciary leverage properly flows.   In a peaceful realm, such as a jay in flight, Litigate we must, to ensure equity is right. With clemency and clairvoyance, we shall proceed. To rectify the wrongs that have been decreed.   Verity shall not be obstructed or bent. On the judicatory bench, our judgment is sent. In summary and contradictory, we may find, But punitive endeavors must be flung behind. Nemesis will not be our disservice. A pacific arbitrator, we shall preserve. In the realm of justice, unjust acts we blame. Retribution and vengeance have no way to tame.  Inquisition dwells as the dictated route. To cinch that every wrong is suitably tried. In the pursuit of verity, we shall never hide. The loop of equity is our gentle stride. After countless years, the clamor will rise. The bench and justice grasp people's cries. With a judgment that is fair and true, We strive to beget a world anew.  Despite how brief and conflicting it seems, A punitory nemesis is not our dream. Instead, we seek a pacific resolve, An arbiter who might judge and absolve.

Someday justice, true justice will reign. We all or maybe I should say some of us long for that day to speedily come until we look at ourselves in the mirror and see we are sinners as well. I enjoyed reading your very well thought out article in poetic form. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara

As always your words flow so seamlessly, with wisdom , experience of life that gives a philosophical touch to your word weaving, i love your rhymes and your diction and how you always hope for the best amidst injustice etc and all the altruism and the rest that we face and are served daily in life. Faith flows through your lines so well articulated in sheer poetic eloquence. I never get bored reading your poems. Another one that left me pondering for its profound depth and intensity. Thank you

Judges it seems when looking at history can become more corrupt that the ones they are judging. Of an arbitrator who becomes a judge I have my doubt, after all an arbitrator is one who helps both sides work it out. Your poem is extremely thought provoking dear SP, and as usual, masterfully written. With love SV.

Lasaad, your writing has been exemplary lately... in vocabulary, form and content. A punitory nemesis would be a nightmare with which to deal. Arbitration is a fair path, but some will never agree to being judged, yet have no qualms about judging others.
