Inspiration:
What action could you take on behalf of justice in the next five minutes?
Justice Should Be a Thing of the Past
Once
individuals were cheated
with misleading mortgages
Yesterday
storms randomly destroyed homes
and families suffered alone
In the past
innocent people were victimized
and criminals were incarcerated
At one time
citizens were cheated out of fair
public policy and safe products
Tomorrow
companies will be
worthy of our trust
In the future
all communities will be
prepared and willing to help
There will be a time
when our neighborhoods are safe
and atonement replaces punishment
Someday
we will have constructive
democratic debate and honest markets
Justice is useless if it is
only a vision of the future
