Judgment (Free verse) by Brennan
Great be the sins of fellow man
Where harm engulfed no trouble found
For peaceful air, found everywhere
Holds nature's laws of judgment bound
They need not proof in tongue nor stone
For lessons there have always been
Entwined in minds of young and old
Where roots of morals lie within
So comes to conscience, inner voice
Who clearly speaks, though tone is frail
And to the few that hear its call
Your own free will can tip the scale
So many hold the fate of few
So many tears may fall in turn
For as the guilty slip away
The innocent are left to burn
The wind speaks not of right or wrong
The water's silence holds as well
But in the troubles yet to come
The human heart has yet to tell
