Lady Justice holds the balance
of truth and fairness
Muslim to military
in blind hope the everyday
men and women
from Tahir Square
will not have new memories
of being shot raped
stoned to death
will not allow inexperience
of leadership
to end their quest
for a spring to democracy
an equal voice
a free breath
as new guns hit parlor TVs –
the constitution
gone, the last test.
