justice

“The LORD saw it, and it

         displeased him

   that there was no justice.

He saw that there was no one,

   and was appalled that there

         was no one to intervene;” Isaiah 59:15b-16a

when no one will speak,

   let us shout;

when no one will act,

   let us step forward;

when no one else cares,

   let us share compassion;

when no one does justice,

   let us be those some ones

   who will

without ever letting up.
