Humanity,
Where is it
In an ever changing
world,
Tom Robinson is
accused
Childhood innocence,
Running along
streets
Finding treasure
Is the world that
Jem and Scout knows
They have seen “The
Boogeyman”
Lurking around
Maycomb, they are curious in seeing him-or them
With built up
fantasies and preconceived notions
They go on their way
In making sense of
it all
In making sense of
injustice
Tom Robinson’s
court date is near
As a white man
defending a black man
Atticus Finch ought
not to be involved
In a case where a
black man touched a white woman
What had Atticus
done wrong in being a public embarrassment to Maycomb?
Would he teach his
children well as a father, and as a lawyer in town?
