Justice, a poem by Eve Fisher


JUSTICE


The people who grazed sheep
The people who had a common ancestor
Like us, now 
Who decend from one thousand survivors 
None of us have the inkling of freedom 
When we think there is no cage
But the one the others made
When we think justice 
Is connected with land
We are so far away
A child is a child
An olive tree is 
Who are you to say?
The people who fell asleep 
A wound that wants to fester
Stand your ground, now
Or someone else's 
Who says who knows who's kingdom 
All are full of sorrow and rage 
Justice comes when all borders are erased
Hold out your hand
See a vision
Pray.
