The Sacred Balance

Title: The Sacred Balance

A learned judge strides forth with grace,
His thoughts formulating a profound case,
Within his hands, the scales of justice sway,
As his next step tests ethics in its way.

A stronghold of principles, the highest court,
Scrupulous ethics, its ethical fort,
In the face of partisanship and strife,
Democracy’s essence rests on this life.

But as the shadows lengthen and questions arise,
Will the ethics code hold, will it crystallize?
Will truth and fairness prevail in this test,
Or will corruption prevail, leaving justice suppressed?

An unwavering commitment to defend,
To go forth with integrity till the end,
The weight of responsibility on his shoulders,
A test for the soul of democracy, as it unfolds.

Transparency, morality, and duty intertwined,
In this somber moment, fate will be defined,
For the eyes of a nation, a precedent is set,
As the ethics code and democracy’s promise met.
