Hearts of stone ...
Proverbs 21:15
15 Doing justice brings joy to the righteous
and terror to those who do evil.
Proverbs 27:20 King James Version (KJV)
20 Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.
Waiting so long for what is coming soon
Will justice be here at last?
A fall and cry... a busted balloon
as fear grinds away at the mind
The system works well breaking stubborn wills
of the guilty and the fallen short
Polluting the hearts of the enforcers of law
who treasure their power in kind
Hearts made of stone formed by time
far past the breaking point
Shaded from light in legalistic form
as shadows become truth after a while
On both sides of the bench blindness rules
as they seem together joined
In their existence in embrace of one another
as they all are in love with beguiled
Jan Wienen
