The guilty mind

A police officer refuses to file the complaint of a victim due to political pressure.....He had no intention whatsoever, to harass the victim. What about his family members, who ask him to comply blindly to the orders to avoid a political hustle? Do these passive players even know how significant a role they play in denying justice to an individual? Perhaps no....Justice isn't denied by the acts of a sole erring individual, its denied because of the indifference of society as a whole.....It saddening and frightening at the same time, that most of us are unaware of our guilts, of errors that are inevitable being an inherent part of a society....


And on the judgement day,
The wheel of karma may stand still,
They may be absolved of all their sins...
The arms of justice...
Tied by "mens rea"
For what do they know of a guilty mind,
Those, who have sold their conscience?
