Altared Justice

 

Krina Kairou

 
  Found after the orga Bartok absconded with the town altar and the restoration began.

Not exile nor 
slave, I came 
for I must,
To behold Her
here: Justice.

Three plagues fell;
Orange hardshells,
Birds were slain.
Living dead came.

Hardshells favored
of the gods.
'Having fun?'
were They that day?

So I was told,
but better felt
the truth inside.
Ignored as 
if I'd lied.

Scavangers to clean,
but slain instead. So
Quickened dead filled
Puddleby 
with corpses quick.

I beheld it then,
Her hand so swift
to fall and place
Her picture of them
all before their face.

An altar call?
The altar broke.
The altar back?
A Master spoke.

Jealousy and greed 
is of the Moon, has 
not the Sun shown light 
on this today 
before all Earth's 
children in dismay?
 
Fools and coins!
Suspicion causes 
all to swoon 
toward Justice.
