No Place To Start
No place to start
No words to describe
Without using words
To describe words
Other than definitions
Made up of words
That are made up
Seemingly from
No where
Which are
Now here
Might as well use them
From the twenty six letters
That are made up as well
Knowing there were not
Always twenty six
Strange I know
With some being used
More than others
Zee (Z) and ecks (X) are
Practically useless
Still they are there
And are as necessary
When needed
Though sometimes
X (ecks) sounds like Z (zee)
Whew
That ended up being
A longer intro then planned
However brings me to a word
Keep hearing bantered
About as if it is critical
To the collective’s
Daily lives
.
Justice
.
Being surrounded by
Similar words
Like
Judge, judge and judged
.
Justice
.
A word defined
Without definition
Really
.
Really
Could it be defined
More vague
Which is clearly delineated
Then the vagueness of
Justice :
a : the maintenance or administration of what is just especially by the impartial adjustment of conflicting claims or the assignment of merited rewards or punishments
– m-w.com
Yet like breakfast
We anticipate it being
“Served”
To those whom
Appear it is deserved
Meted out
In a “just”
Fashion
A biblical hand me down
Useless as holey shoes
Neither whole nor holy
Executed by those in power
With those in cahoots
Right there in black and white
Not even a play on words, as
A “Criminal Justice System”
Inherent in the “Rule of Flaw”
To satisfy all participants
Even though it
Won’t be
.
Merely by perspective
Usually by
Social position
Say # 45 or
Money in the bank
(“Half penny, two penny
Ashes to dust
The almighty dollar says
“In God we trust”
Justice for money
How much more can I pay
We all know it’s the American Way
“Half Penny, Two Penny”
– Styx)
Mainly
Perceived money in the bank
Epidermis
And visible light
Reflecting spectrum
Defined by
Melanin content
Against snow contrast
Also it is
Not what you know
But who you know
On minds it will gnaw
Can you say Kavanaugh
Is that justice?*
Because he’s a Justice
Maybe a game changer
Pronounced Whitaker
Or just
Something “we”
Made up
(“Pretty neat deal, huh?
You know how we got it?
We made the whole
#ucking thing up! //
Aren’t we versatile?!”
– George Carlin)
Not sure if the following
Is true
However
Once heard of a
Society or culture
That did not experience
Pain
Simply because they
Didn’t have a
Word
For it
This one has
Justice
With soooo many
Individual interpretations
Its meaning is as
Watered-down
As the BP oil spill
Its malleable content
Drowned in context
“That is because there is
A lot of water in the ocean.”
– Carlos Mencia
So since there is
No place to start
Might as well treat it
Like eating
The elephant in the room
With the turd in the punch bowl
Start with
One bite at a time
Slowly accept that the
System needs
Transformation
Towards
Compassion and forgiveness
Guidance and understanding
Healing and growing
Insight and enlightenment
Technocracy and meritocracy
Sharing and recycling
And with one last act
Of violence for now and
Forever
Beat those swords
Into plow shares
Then we will have
Justice for all

“It is interesting to note that those who most frequently call for fair play are those who are advantaged by the play as it currently is.
And that only when the position of privilege is in danger, are they likely to benefit from the change required to “play by the rules”.”
