Socrates, Sophists and Riots

The question in my mind does thus arise,
As once the Greeks debated on the same old theme,
Should we to social justice sacrifice,
The lawful order which we diligently did attain?
Or is our justice less important than the civil rights,
And we must tolerate fear, murder, riots in our streets?
I think I'll travel back in time
And seek advice from the old Greeks.
