Justice must show compassion
The judges who sit on it
They shouldn't forget
They shouldn't make mistakes
They are trained in law
They should learn compassion
If they don't have it in their tools
They should stop and think
Many minor cases
The offenders are packed to prison
Instead of showing compassion
The judges make the punishment
The politicians who steal or slander
The police will drag their feet to investigate
The judges will accord leeway of their excuses
But the poor or helpless are sent to prison
The judges should exercise compassion
Study the cases in their courts
A mother stole to feed her children
A senior citizen wrote not to offense
An apology and caution should be the day
The repeat offenders will have no excuse
By then the judges can mete them the punishment
Not those who stole millions or billions
