JUSTICE, by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR Poet's Biography First Line: Enthroned upon the mighty truth Last Line: Would be oppression in disguise. Subject(s): Justice | ||||||||
Enthroned upon the mighty truth, Within the confines of the laws, True Justice seeth not the man, But only hears his cause. Unconscious of his creed or race, She cannot see, but only weighs; For Justice with unbandaged eyes Would be oppression in disguise. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE TRUTH ABOUT GOD: GOD'S JUSTICE by ANNE CARSON CREDO by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE YOUNG WARRIOR by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON TO HORACE BUMSTEAD by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON CONSCRIPTS OF THE DREAM by EDWIN MARKHAM THE MAN UNDER THE STONE by EDWIN MARKHAM A BANJO SONG by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR |
