We have become familiar enough with placards and posters proclaiming 'Justice for....', where some good cause is the subject of a campaign seeking a positive outcome.
More and more we hear talk in the West of our unjust society, of communities living side by side whose work and living circumstances are in stark contrast.

only in the West
the sun returned
bringing angled shadows
of morning
back to city streets.
cars and buses,
trains and tubes
moved people
from home to work.
only, in the west
a pall of smoke
hung heavy
on the skyline
and the people wept.

A neat package of wordage that may or may not have been planned with care, but it is what we have come to expect, words with a difference.
