Let's Power Our Wish

Let's power our wish thro' Sankara prophesy,
Divining sacred-self, killing ego malady.
Let's power our wish thro' Chanakya pledge,
Capturing the center, digging out edge.

Let's power our wish thro' Kabir tale,
Shaping up unity, splitting up let fail.
Let's power our wish thro' Gandhian path,
Eyeing on patience, ruling out spleen dirt.

Let's power our wish thro' Raman effect,
Opining on noesis, closing out ignorance defect.
Let's power our wish thro' Teresa style,
Dealing with generosity, banging greed by mile.

Justitia Versus Justice

Justitia's dark pose is a golden allegory
Justice's present pose depicts dark imagery
Unifies reason, justice, objectivity and balance
Upgrades putridness, injustice, subjectivity and imbalance
Sanctions responsibility, power, growth and wisdom
Salutes payoff, baron, egotism and kingdom
Touches equalitarianism, objectivism and platonism
Teaches prejudgement, escapism and abstractionism
Imbibes ethics, positivism and lowliness
Inspires iniquity, negativism and pridefulness
Targets perfection, truth and universal friendship
Creates imperfection, falsity and eternal enemity
Incites every soul to be a similar role model
Encourages every soul to master this trade.
And endlessly poses in every society to allegorise it.

Held double-edged sword -
To drive home reason and justice.
Her right hand
Held set of scales -
To load the subject's 'two sides'
On them and decide the outcome
Based on the needle's direction.

21st century
Judiciary
Went wide-eyed -
To view the loophole.
Their left hands
Held double standard code -
To drive home corruption and injustice.
