They ripped and kicked and tore her clothing
It near caused a night of rioting
And they declared she was a witch
For complaining of behavioural antics
The law expediently locked her up
It was easier then to treat as such
For it was to them black on black crime
For such, why waste their precious time?
They treated first everything as such
Our taxes never counted much
A camel would easier pass through a needle
Than to tackle such domestic riddles
And elsewhere where they left to fun
The youth to run amuck as one
With ignorant parenting too
The problem over time just grew
One shot injustice to another
Where is the love you say for brothers?
And where the line you draw as colour
Reflecting hate so altogether?
People jumping for their lives
As building burned and livelihoods died
Eruptions in austerity bleak
Armoured vehicles rolled through city streets
And some do fear and with good reason
That in this hour, in this season
That such may also strike again
What kind of justice will defend?
