Justices

We have Justices of the Peace
Communion ‘twixt good folk to ease

We have Justices of the Bench
Enduring wrong’s revolting stench

We have Justices of the Law
The details of our censure saw

We have Justices of the Street
Sentences final, short and sweet

And we have Justices of Ascension
Relatively new ’round here

Who see each situation clear
And publicly of it make mention

With beneficent intention
To all watching souls appear

Exactly, yes ~ right to the letter ~
What to do to make it better
