Is all injustice created equal?A Poem by Guillaume CouguéGospel of Luke tells us 'he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much,' however are different injustices such as the 1984 miner's strike to the schoolboy waiting to be told off really equal?
He sits and waits and sulks
as the clock strikes and on they strike and on he called to do no wrong 'in judgement, in meteyard, in weight or in measure,' And Oh! the boy thinks he see's this, but his judgement clouded by soot black eyes. And so he only sees the adults have struck him wrong as he sits and waits outside the office for the Brother, teacher to emerge as the clock strikes and on they strike. For they can not tolerate the closure of their mines, the closure of their lives and so they defy 'Her England,' of which Orwell wrote and which came true in nineteen-eighty-four So the boy should not sulk as the clock strikes and on they strike as he should see there are greater injustices or is it true that 'he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.'
