Your words mean a lot to me, dear Pish. Glad that you like this senryu. I tried to put what came first to my mind about "Justice" into 17 syllables. Wasn't too difficult ... Thanks for the read and the comment!

provoking spill you have here

Maybe provoking, Poe. But sometimes the concept "justice" is just like that to me. Someone's plaything. Perhaps rather the devil's?
Re: Justice - Senryu
justice, or fair play, call it

perhaps, I don't know if it's
real, but then I don't know
if anything is...
sorry, rambling around your very
thoughtful piece..:)

Oh, of all people, Paul, you'd be the last to ramble. I appreciate your thoughts very much, you know that. What is meant by 'justice' sometimes just isn't right ...

As I have not much good to say about so-called justice I tried to pack that into 17 syllables. That's more than enough, I guess.

There's a joke (observation) that goes ...
When you look at who's in jail you see "just us" - the poor - uneducated - underrepresented - and the forgotten ...
Righteous pen.
