Poet: Langston Hughes
Poem: Justice

shows that life still is not that much different now than it was back in the twenties in the eyes of justice. Justice is said to be a beautiful goddess who is blind. Bandages cover sores those were once eyes. In my opinion it’s not justice who is blind, but the people, who make up justice, are inconsiderate because of their own judgments. Our legal system has our peers defining justice how they see it, and unless they are blind, to race, sexes, and their own biases, than they should find a new justice system.

the poem is somewhat true because it makes sense hughes is saying that justice is a godess beatiful yet blind because it sees what others want it to thats why it has sores as eyes because it has a flaw just like every thing else in this world!!!!!!!!!

I think that this poem shows that no matter what rase you are, the eyes of justice still look to you. Langston Hughes is one of my favorite poets because he says things of how they truly are and shows it through the eyes of a true American
