This Is What Justice Looks Like

Justice Looks Just Like You.

By: Anonymous

Justice looks Just like you. Ya know she could be your sister.
Justice is a gleaming beacon in the night.
Justice brings in sailors in from the cold harshness of the sea and wraps them in their lovers warm arms.
It is a call from a mother to her children freely playing in the yard that it’s time to come it and wash up for dinner.
It’s tender and light,but heavy hearted and deep rooted
It’s a serene lake that reflects the beauty around it,and mirrors mountains.
It’s a letter and a box of homemade goodies sent to a warrior overseas that says “I love you keep on keeping on”.
It’s great looking unphotoshopped and bare faced and isn’t afraid to have natural hair.
It’s the absolute trust a child can have in a parent when she has a nightmare and crawls into their bed.
It sounds a sigh of relief hushed and mild.
It’s a brick and a rose.
But also a heroic battle cry loud enough to bring down walls.
It’s got every physical and mental illness in the book, but keeps fighting .
It’s got all skin, eye, and hair colors with everyone’s scars and terrible past and is absolutely beautiful because of it’s enlightened future
Justice is equality between men and women on all aspects even if it means I can’t get out of my traffic ticket by flirting with the cop.
It’s probably furry and has a cold wet nose.
It goes to visit train tracks to remember what it feels like to be insanely sad.
It’s equality between human beings no matter gender, ethnicity, sexual preference, belief system,mental illness,or any other way humanity can differ.
Justice Married who it loved.
Justice is the human civil right to do what you believe in as long as you’re not harming another persons Justice.
It’s not having to be escorted to check my mail because of the area one resides.
It’s becoming the advocate for yourself and not waiting for someone else to do it.
