When righteousness and virtue are obscured, we all demand punishment and moral righteousness. Is punishment justice? Humanity strives for serenity and contentment but do we truly understand the meaning of justice? The blinded lady remains misconstrued in her ways, and only fortuity and innocence shall clear the tarnished name. The blinded lady remains without sight in the ambiguity of hues, threads and textures bound upon her face to prevent her from seeing true retrogression in the morals of her people and the contentious licentiousness of her intangible righteousness. But when all billows of indictment become ephemeral as the true form of justice shall emulate and reveal its true countenance. Sometimes justice becomes a subservient slave to iniquity and pretense of the quarrelsome beings. Morality in the face of justice is a prodigious liberated thought in which verdict shall render aversion or reverence, yet the truth is obscured in nadir. The even cryptic manner of justice, ceases its subjects in vague confusion. Punishment is aesthetically pleasing without bounds to the victim, and its lover is a rogue in the eyes of the accused. Justice is not in exemplary confidence with compassion, for the heart shall view emotion and construe all forms of fact and solidarity. Chaos even blocks the most clairvoyant of subjects that believe justice is served. "An unjust law is no law at all" yet it has no meaning to its demagogues. Intuitively we are taught that punishment to the accused is true justice. It is truly honesty and the preservation of one's creed without disdain while understanding the consequences involved.

I''m a lil' slow,
I like to read but also understand as I go,
but your education abounds me,
the large words are like aliens that surround me,
but you did spit it profoundly.
