Justice
Maro Markaryan
There is something in this world
called
justice.
Compensation, Restitution
are its other names.
But never
Punctual.
On the contrary it always comes
too late. Like a missed
love,
timed wrong, worse when it arrives
than if it never had
come.
Causing more pain.
There is something in this world
named Justice
that arrives late
to find a new name on its door,
Injustice.
