Poem
There is only one truth, one law, and one way. Make justice supreme and let come what may. Within us lies a truth that all of us hear. And within us its killer: corruption and fear. From the righteous path we must never stray else our future and our soul may be cast away.

Visual Description
A tall, armored female figure stands in an oval frame holding a balanced set of scales in one hand and a sword in the other, the sword's tip touching the ground. A radiant white disk or halo sits behind her head and the Roman numeral 'XI' is visible at the top of the image while the banner below reads 'Justice.' A coiled serpent lies at her feet, and the background shows distant architectural pillars and a pastel sky. The palette is warm with gold and earth tones and ornate decorative details on her costume and weaponry.
