An eye for an eye,
a tooth for a tooth.
This is justice,
but is that the truth?

A hand for 1k,
a foot for 2.
This seems fitting,
is this justice too?

Justice may vary,
between points of view.
What others think right,
may not be what's due.

Justice is power,
as it is the law.
Even if others,
screech their throats raw.

As it is now,
there's no right nor wrong.
Justice's just revenge,
a complaining song.
