Dove of Justice

Hi, please correct the following paragraph. Thank you.

The year that was,
spinning through webs of corruption
shadowing suns of morality,
dwarfed the nation's honor;
hoisted flags of shame; and
wounded the ‘Dove of Justice.'

The year that was, spinning through webs of corruption shadowing the sun of morality, shrivelled the nation's honor , hoisted flags of shame , and wounded the dove of justice . I have not tried to repair the mixed metaphors, since the whole sentence is a congeries of them.
