What justifies a murder?
It's attack in self defense.
But justifying other things
Makes us all on the fence.
What justifies a lie?
They say the color of the snow.
"Why did you have to leave this way?"
"I simply had to go."
I understand my rage.
I still don't say it's justified.
I simply can't do justice
To the tears we all have cried.
To justify: to just excuse
The qualities I lack.
So can I justify the time
It took to bring me back?
