''Poetic Justice'' is a 1993 Film starring Janet Jackson and Tupac Shakur and directed by John Singleton . PLOT Justice ( Janet Jackson ) is a young African-American woman living in Los Angeles . She was named Justice by her late mother, who had her during her law studies. Justice's boyfriend is shot in an act of random violence, and the young woman shuts down in depression, until she meets a Postal Office employee named Lucky ( Tupac Shakur ) who embarks her on a trip with her bestfriend and boyfriend Iesha and Chicago (played by Regina King and Joe Torry). In classic Hollywood type, the young woman heart opens to her suitors attentions as she finds a new meaning for life. Singleton named the film Poetic Justice because the main character, Justice, writes beautiful Poems which she recites throughout the movie. The poems are in fact from Maya Angelou.
