A snake is tracked down after it bites a person, the need to track it down is to kill it for vengeance. The anger of not letting go of a snake that bite someone, drives people to find justice for the victims by killing the snake itself. Mostly people don't rest until they find it. But my question is, why is it different when it comes to justice for people against people? People get away with a lot of things they are not supposed to get away with, but an animal can't get away with harming someone. We fail to acknowledge that it's not animals that harm us most in life, it's us that harm ourselves mostly in life. In most cases an animal will only harm you if you prove it, but a person will harm another person just for passing by minding your own business. Why are so good at seek justice from animals than seeking justice for ourselves? The other day I saw a dog being killed for biting someone and in that same day, I read a news paper of a man who got out of police custody for shooting someone twice in the head. I thought to myself, that little girl who got bitten by a dog just got her justice but the guy that was shot by a follow human, is finding it hard to get his justice. Why must is it be like that? My tears rolled down my cheeks as I read the news of him fighting for his life in a hospital bed, while his family is fight so hard for justice, the justice that wasn't supposed to be fought for, the justice that he is supposed to get in just a day. How is that fair? How can we sit folding our hands while we watch our nation falling apart? Things were not supposed to be like this, weren't supposed to fight for justice. Justice was supposed to be given to us in a blink of an eye. Why must we go through the pain of lossing our loved ones and the same time we are fighting a battle for justice. I thought justice was our green card in life, I thought we are supposed to get with out any cost. But today, justice became expensive for the poor and very cheap for the rich. Justice is demanding for connections, justice is demanding for power, justice is demanding for a bank statement and justice is demanding for the title you hold in the society. And that's pure bullshit! I'm not supposed to be employed to get justice, I'm not supposed to be a government official to get justice, I'm not supposed to be rich and neither am I supposed to influencial to gain my justice. I'm just supposed to be human, with the same blood running in the government official's body. Why must my case be different? Why must it takes me years to get my justice? Why must they buy my justice? They said the country is equally ours but yet some of us have to sweat just to survive. Women are being killed everyday, young girls are being raped, young men are being shot and the poor are being robbed from their rights and belongings. But yet they sit and say, the justice system of the country is not corrupted. Nonsense! There's no mistake in taking a gun and pulling a trigger, that's not an involuntary act. How dare you use the word mistake in such atrocity? How dare you play with someone's life like that? How do you even sleep at night? You want be set free? And then what? You continue with your life like nothing happened? Or maybe like it's just a mistake? Where is the humanity in you? Imagine your son is killed in that senseless manner, are you going to sit back and fold your hands looking at the monster that took out his life go free without being punished? Just because it was a mistake, like you just broke a plate and clean it up and get a new one? It's a life for God Sake! something you have no idea how to give it, something you can't replace like a broken plate and something you can never forget it existed. The value of life is unimaginable because non of us know how to give it or where to get it, once it's gone it's gone. So there's no mistake in taking that away! Neither is there messy! Do you even know how his family is sleeping at night? Do you know you just made a son fatherless? Do you know you just made a mother motherless, a father fatherless, left a brother with no best friend, a sister with no protector? How don't we think of this things or our hearts just freez and they become cold or maybe we rip them out and become heartless. You are not supposed to be in court fighting for freedom when you just took someone's away for eternity. Why can't you admit you have wronged and surrender yourself before everyone and await for your punishment, seek for forgiveness if you can but yet face your judgement and spare the loved ones of the victim anger and pain to fight for his justice, spare them the agony to see your face everyday, spare them the time they are supposed to moan and be with their love ones and they are busy fighting for justice. Admit that your only hope is forgiveness from God and life shall continue behind bars for you, because that's where you belong. Let's all try and make justice possible for everyone, we are being discriminated in many things let's not let justice add to the list. Justice is our rights as victims we are not supposed to go through hell to get it, it's our golden ticket to punish those that wrong us without hurting them and subjecting ourselves to their standards. Pledge for justice!! You deserve it!!
