The World of Injustice and The Use of Power

This world is a world of injustice – and it is by no means a better place with regards to justice.

The evasive paths for many crimes remain, in spite of more ways of reporting, evidence and voices.

Denials are still predominant, as well as bad information as a tool for deception.

The way power works – sometimes seeming to slip away, results in some getting aggressive in how they retain theirs.

The move to connive by the powerful, cleaning their image – is also driven for the grip.

But power – for many, is the ability to wreak destruction.

Power – also, is not for good when many wield it, as it stokes their recklessness.

The impermanence of life, position and time is no concern in the moment of crimes.

This world, from the earliest times, was dented, and that error continues to affect everything that happens after – so that solutions create new problems, whilst not solving the old one absolutely.

The stages of injustice are numerous. To champion one or some is the purview of many wrongdoers.

The world slows down at every instance of injustice. The world reverses back – further away from better, whenever injustice wins.

Though fighting injustice takes many forms, but it should be noted that these forms have their limits.

It is possible to factor into solutions, how it helps mitigate injustice – than to have something that pays no attention to it.

Though the power to escape justice or fairness often makes many feel special, but the void is ahead.

There is a just God, the Creator.

No wickedness will go unpunished.

It may not seem the way humans can calculate, but there is judgement and it will not miss.

This earth runs its course and people fail every day.

True Christians understand that position of power on earth – is nothing, but to follow the example of Jesus, is everything.

[Psalm 94:10, He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not He correct? He that teacheth man knowledge, shall not He know?]
