“Law in My Mind, Justice in My Hand"

“ Law in My Mind, Justice in My Hand” In Labour Law, I see the fight, For equal pay and worker’s right. No child at work, no unjust strain, The law steps in to stop the pain. The Constitution, bold and grand, Gives rights to all across the land. From speech to vote, from faith to life, It calms the storms, it ends the strife. Environment Law, a growing plea, To save the sky, the land, the sea. No trees to cut, no waste to spill, Protect the Earth—we always will. A student now, I read and write, To stand for truth, to stand for right. In every case and every clause, I walk the path of noble laws.
