'Justice, our burdened deity' by bus stop girl (ISSUE 2-JUNE 26')

She, draped in dread and misery
Offers an outstretched hand
From her
Empire of empathy
She keeps the score
Tallies doubt
Feels your blood and
Your shame
Weighs your life in a
Goblet and a single breath
Truth prevails in her court
She cares not for
Feudal hierarchy
Nor social tyranny
Such burden
Falls on the shoulder of a deity
To make her ruling
She will look past you
And through your pain
Find a child in a puddle
That does not yet know
Their name
She gives them little choice
Fair maiden
Balanced hand
Plays a hard game
Keeper of justice
Act honestly
Or you too will feel the burn
Of her rain.
