Justice  is the thing with thistles
Walking around leads to no where
Direct approach hurts oneself 
coiling into a ball 
to continue poking 
Is self destructive
Might as well take a saw
Then might as well be labeled  a  terrorist
Justice does no harm in the eyes 
Of who you believe in 
Bit by bit
Bit by bit
Removing one thistle at a time
Like diffusing a bomb
On the other side 
There may be...
