A monster becomes a judge.
Not through magic, science or some other craft.
Simply because those with power want it so.
And so: it is.
But with this transformation comes a lesson.
This mockery of justice does not transform justice itself.
We see it is wrong and know it to be wrong. We know this.
They can lie to us, but we will not lie to ourselves.
A monster may become a judge, but in doing so does not become less a monster.
And with his supposed transfiguration: our sense of empathy, decency and humanity is not shook.
It cannot be. Because we can no longer trust those that we once expected to uphold these values.
We must hold ourselves together.
