Symbol of Justice

They say justice is a fountain

Eternally flowing

Cleansing

Mankind’s unjust acts

As I feasted mine eyes

On this spectacle

This boy statue I saw

Naked may be to symbolize

Naked justice, unpretentious?

Dripping with water

Wherewithal man’s offences are washed

Through a trial?

I don’t know if I am right

But as I saw the fountain and the statue

My smile dried up: I was in serious territories!
