DAY8/10 - PEACE THROUGH JUSTICE

What is peace without justice?
It is cruel and shallow
The river turned bitter after cleansing its hollow.
We built our quiet on a swamp of silent shame,
And wondered why the walls kept bowing to the rain.
We confuse the absence of war with the presence of calm,
Never thinking what happens when accountability crumbles.

Justice is the seed,
Whose bedrock must be laid in sunlight.
It is the enduring, palpable presence of something constructive.
Justice is peace clothed in courage.
For where truth stands tall, peace never crumbles
The scale no longer slants to one privileged end,
And silence is not an option for apparent evil.
True peace is not a ceiling, but a foundation.
It is the deep root that weathers the storm.
