POEM : : JUSTICE is DIVINE

JUSTICE is DIVINE

[Heard in silent gratitude, after reading an opinion piece by M.Gessen, NYTimes, 17 April 2026]

Gravity tugs alike on everyone.
The sun shines on the just and the unjust.
Rain falls on the wealthy and the weak.

Money inundates mindlessly, like water, seeking a path of least resistance.
Bloodless corporations – “citizens” – cut deals into flesh,
     causing blood to flood and foul the globe.

“Sin crouches at the door.”
Cain offers God a zucchini; then in a fit of envy, he daily murders his brothers and sisters.
And the bloodied ground cries out. [see Genesis 4 KJV]

Today, Divine Justice has prevailed in France, as chief executives, financial officers, and hacks are being sent to jail.
And – as in heaven – so on earth – the promise of the rainbow sparkles as truth – written in Light upon a cloud.

…LET JUSTICE ROLL DOWN…let justice flow like a river,
and let righteousness flow like a never-ending stream. [Amos 5:24, NRSVu]
