Though wrapped in black packs
In dark hall of race for survival
Like gold strains bound in mud
Till exploited; 8
sack Not to be republished
She is cool like ice
And still like rock;
No easy road to charm her soul

While hardship makes her no more justice. 12

Why justice is shackled to greed and bribe?
Why justice is fished out from popular mood?
Lost in thick jungle of lightless night,
Like rat, caught in the sack of death, 16

Like deer, caught in lion’s lair,
She never reaches Self by herself.
Justice with no heart for truth,
Justice with no dash for right cause
Is justice dead indeed. 21
