If justice were a crown, it would kneel
first.

If leadership bore the cross, it would
carry the weight of the voiceless before

lifting itself.

I understand.

The almost automatic pride that pulses
through the chest of the indigenous.

The fierce patriotism for the land you
were born in.

The deep -rooted love for the soil you
now call home.

I understand.

Why you see leaders as kings, and as
kings expect them to reign with wisdom,

fulfill every golden promise spoken or
scribed, to speak life, not break it, I

understand.

The joy when the land flourishes, when
the people smile, when prosperity dances

through the streets like morning sun on
rooftops.

But what I don't understand is why I
should walk in fear in my land.

Why should I shrink myself to survive,
silence my truth to stay alive?

In a nation where justice has no pulse,
where time doesn't fit the crime, and

the crime is whatever the powerful say
it is, my innocence means nothing if

guilt is more politically useful.

Even when I scream, I did not do it.

If they whisper, you look like you did,
then the cage is already built.

and my time is put on pause, locked
away, forgotten, erased.

I'm not the first to be judged before
being heard.

Ask the Central Park Five, the boys who
became men behind bars, before their

voices even deepened, before truth had a
chance to stand.

Yousef, Antoine, Kevin, Corey, Raymond,
boys with dreams, dragged into the

machinery of injustice.

Painted as monsters by media, sculpted
into villains by fear.

No evidence, no mercy, just skin color.

And silence filling the courtroom like
smoke, served up to the public like

proof.

They didn't break the law. The law broke
them.

Years stolen, minds shattered, hearts
hardened.

And years later, when the truth came
crawling back, When DNA finally told the

real story,

justice did not weep.

Its belly blinked.

So I walked carefully, head down, voice
soft.

Because the thing we call justice has
become a camouflage for dictatorship,

racism, for personal vendettas.

And as a black soul navigating the
system, I refuse to be another

But hear me.

I'm not begging for pity, not asking for
compassion beyond reason.

I'm asking for truth, for equity, for
the just injustice to finally show its

face, for humanity and the powerful to
rise and speak, for power to remember

weight it carries, for leaders to learn
from more than their lineage, to learn

from the lamb, the one who led through
humility, not hierarchy.

though he was worthy of crowns.

Because when a judge ascends that bench,
that throne of consequence, and

declares, while the world moves, your
time will stand still for thirty years,

that sentence should not be inked in
doubt.

It should be carved from truth, pure,
unshakable.

But too often it's not.

Too often people with power act
powerful, not accountable.

Judges rise in robes, some wear bias
beneath the fabric.

Leaders are sent to rule but forget to
serve.

They lord over the people without care
for what's right or just. They twist

truths, spin lies into law, and call it
governance. You see it. I see it.

But have you ever stopped to ask
yourself why?

It's simple.

They didn't learn power at the feet of
justice.

They learned it from the flawed, from
bitter homes, broken systems, cruel

classrooms.

They didn't learn it from the great I
am.

The one who, though king of kings, stood
low, took a towel and washed the feet

of men who would later deny him.

That's not weakness.

That's the strength of heaven wrapped in
humility. That's what real leadership

looks like. That's what righteous
justice sounds like. Not a privilege of

rich. Not a punishment for the
powerless. But global.

Unshakable. Divine.

So we will speak.

We will write.

We will rise. Because justice delayed is
injustice rehearsed. And silence in the

face of it is complicity in disguise.

So let me remind them, the leaders who
lead to lot over, who treat the

vulnerable as worthless, as if justice
only bends to power.

The greatest judge once chose a
colorless crown for all, black and white

throne. So who are we to rule with iron
on college justice?

On this day, International Justice Day.

Let us remember the ones forgotten, the
falsely accused, the wrongly convicted,

the voices silenced by verdicts written
in fear.

Let us remember the Central Park Five,
the Seventh King,

and let us rise to demand a justice
system that doesn't just punish but

protects, a leadership that doesn't just
command but cares.

A world where the scales of justice
doesn't tip with skin tone or silence.

Because justice, real justice, doesn't
raise its garble without listening

It kneels.

It washes feet.

It bears burdens.

And it never, never forgets the cost of

getting it wrong.
