Justice

Free writing-

I wrote this a few weeks ago for an english assignment and decided I would post it on here and see what people think :)

Free writing-

I was told to set a timer for 3-5 minutes and free write. In other words, write about something that interest me and write whatever came to my mind about that subject for a few minutes. Here is goes...

Justice- one word, one word heavily laden with so much meaning for so many. Justice, something some never experience in their life due to many circumstances. Some never seek justice, instead they chose to sit back and ignore the plights of other people's lives, While others assume because they have never directly experienced injustice or met some who has, it simply doesn't exist. But for me, it is something I have always felt a strong pull to bring into the lives of those suffering from injustice. I myself have lived life in a country where injustice never effected me personally. But as I get older I realize more and more how much injustice is in the land of the freedom, and equality. Justice is something that is needed everywhere in the world. In some places it may be more apparent than in others. In some countries the world can see the injustice people are suffering at the hands of the government, in other countries, such as the United States, people don't seem to realize the injustice and corruption, because of the freedoms we have in this country, most people don't realize the severe injustice being suffered in this country. People assume corruption of the police and law enforcement is a thing of the past, unfortunately it's not. And how do we explain the massive numbers of children being sold into forced prostitution in our own country? This is just one example of the injustice being suffered in one place in the world. There are so many more! So why do we not fight for justice more? Why do we fear those who bring injustice and persecution?
The need for justice in the world is so great. So what are you going to do to fight for justice?
