Into Turn

Justice, bought and sold    gauged with the clamor Intended to unfold   a tale timidly told So as not to distress    One monster that validates another. 

Copyright © April 2009 James C. Horak

Additional Notes:
Dedicated to a family of monsters so recently in the news.

They did their best didn't they - who knows why the bad guys win; and the good guys falter in life. Very good write JC, solid, poetic and a reminder of what the human race; is still presenting to the world, no matter what - evil will prevail in all of those who choose to partake in it. Great write. Deni

James, What family? Bush? I'm a bit upset that there is no prosecution yet by Obama for Iraq's war. Seems justice is bought and sold throughout history. Who, which, are the monsters? THE TALE/ Not the swine flu/bird flu hoaxes. We humans are so pathetic to fall for all the ploys. Keep us learning........and thanks. Dellena

Short and to the point, If rhyme is used, I think it should be used throughout, just my opinion; I like the rhyme that was used, the last line gets lost for me because there is no rhyme after all the others, It does make an impact and makes one think, inspired me to write this Justice system is out of whack Politicians always on the attack Hypocrites and liars they all are You don’t have to look too far Your vote is up for sale They seldom end up in jail Like a boat, away they sail Maybe justice, when they end up in hell

Hi James, I apologise for not being able to recall a news story that brought this family to the fore. The closest I am able to get to a family of monsters is the dad who kept his daughter in the basement and got her preganant but dad would make him a monster dad. Why tarnish the family for his sins. Nevertheless, it would not take a news story to appreciate the poem. This world is filled with monsters and they are ever so dangerous when they club to form families. I have come to know of one such family of late (barring the husband). Nevetheless, your piece takes on greater significance than meets the eye. Your belief in justice, morality stand out and the heart of corruption stands exposed. Thank you for posting this read. It got me thinking for quite some time. Duane.

James so aprahpo for the times, and yes it does seem that "one" monster is validating the other--gee how co-incidental--huh? Brief, succinct with the perfect verbiage for you content. I'd try to pick one line but with the sparsity of words and being so well place; to choose just a line would be an injustice to your write.No nits here, simply a satified reader. Best, Lora
