What is the meaning of the word we call Justice
This sense of false obligation to restore our feeling of pride
Yet we fail to realize that our sense of justice is filled with hatred and revenge
It no longer becomes or is justice but the act of retaliation
So we strike back with a mighty hand to make ourselves feel at peace or at ease
I believe that our world, our morals are completely gone
