Poesia di Langston Hughes

That Justice is a blind goddess
Is a thing to which we black are wise:
Her bandage hides two festering sores
That once perhaps were eyes.

OIKEUS

Sen, että oikeuden jumalatar on sokea,
me mustat tiedämme liiankin hyvin:
hänen siteensä kätkee kaksi märkivää haavaa,
jotka kenties joskus ovat olleet silmät.

"Justice"

"Justice" is a short poem by Langston Hughes. Hughes wrote the poem in 1932, resulting from the highly publicized Scottsboro Boys incident, in which a group of young men of color was falsely arrested and tried for rape.

A central theme of "Justice" is that the justice system in the United States is damaged and truly blind to people of color. Justice is alluded to as a "blind goddess," meaning justice is highly desired, but Hughes writes that "we black are wise" to the idea that justice does not see them.
Hughes describes her blindfold as a “ bandage “ that conceals “ two festering sores,” indicating that in reality that justice is incomplete for black Americans,who are full of anger and pain.
