My eye tells me I'm still 17 years old. Sharing time with these classmates, Their strength and compassion. I am my criminal acts and the response which the law made against me. Why did I hide my light of character in them? To refuse my brother's good? That I may stand with my own eyes - evil though they be? For to live always under the guise of another's eyes is not justice.

Justice
My eye tells me I'm still 17 years old. Sharing time with these classmates, Their strength and compassion. I am my criminal acts and the response which the law made against me. Why did I hide my light of character in them? To refuse my brother's good? That I may stand with my own eyes - evil though they be? For to live always under the guise of another's eyes is not justice.
