Treaty of Waitangi
Written down
in black and white...
(But missing native nuances)

Illiterate squiggles
show agreement...
(With verbal explanations?)

But the letter of the law prevails...
(Our law, not yours)


Just take your money and run.


Free verse. Written 16 September 2016.

Third place in "Project Write World" Open in new Window. (September 2016)
