Fiat Justitia Ruat Caelum

I want many things. 

I will be the first to admit my greed.

These things I want

Are not things I need.

In this world

There are only two necessities:

Justice

And honesty.

I have been given neither.

I need only these

And yet I starve for them.

I've paid my dues,

I know what I deserve.

Where are the truths

And debts I'm owed?

I have given much,

Even more has been forcibly taken.

I will not stop

Till justice has been served,

I have learned the truth,

And I've gotten what I deserve.
