Justice

I am a sword
that only cuts
against other swords,
not against flesh.
I would not,
and could not,
spar with an innocent blade,
though I devastate
the strongest
and fiercest foil
stained with guilt.
I am Justice.
Alone,
I cannot be resisted,
though in the hands
of man,
I am merely
a blunt instrument
with only occasional
sharp edges.

Author: J. Anton Davis

Hi, my name is Jacob Anton (ANN-tin) Davis. I am a husband, father, attorney, and writer. I have written poetry and fiction as a hobby for the past 20 years, but I launched J. Anton Poetry in 2019 to share my writing publicly. The poems of mine on this site largely describe my thoughts about the deeper connections and meaning in our everyday lives.
