Justice - Taken Poem by Mary Mc Creath
Justice - Taken
Written at the same time in 1976 as Shell Bird. The workshop I attended gave us information of what people were suffering under apartheid.
Can one sit at ease,
when she sees,
another
taken.
Taken where he would not go.
Put in a box half his size.
Given a tune to dance to.
Played in a rhythm he knows not.
One faulty step
and
his box becomes smaller,
the tune played faster
and the rhythm more obscure.
