Law should be like death and spare no one - Montesquieu

Evidence irrefutable, such acts must lead to punishment.

The pain you inflicted carries consequences.

No more lies, truth has been revealed.

Behind such acts of belligerence, there’s always a fine line.

A line “Traced in blood stained soil” said the prosecutor.

The color of right changes sides, it depends on where you stand.

Blinded and savaged, lady justice seldom responds to shivering equity.

A virtue highly praised, but rarely achieved.

The more you lean on it, the more it quivers.

Even in battlefield rules need to be followed

The rule is simple

Big boys play with big toys

Big egos pull the strings

If you don’t agree

Good luck trying to change the way it is.

The guilty shake hands with the damned

Victims of circumstances or visionaries in disguise

It’s a matter of perspective, a change of lenses

We better straight our ties and act benevolent.
