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.
