Fragment from a poem entitled "The Magistrate"
(circa 600 Years before the Cataclysm)
- Magistrate Kust is righteous and just; his judgement is lawful and swift.
His grasp of the law, complete, without flaw, is his strength and natural-born gift.
Immune to disruption, beyond all corruption, his rulings are never in doubt.
He sees through all lies with his piercing blue eyes: all motives are always found out.
Be you peasant or noble, his process is global: no woman, man, child is exempt.
When called to the booth, you had best tell the truth, or find yourself charged with contempt.
Justice: his goal, he cares not for your soul, though you 'pologize, plead or repent.
The innocent: freed; the guilty will bleed, or to dungeon will surely be sent.
