Read the poem, and then accomplish the activities that follow. RIVER ROBERT
by Seitlhamo Motsapi
i have one eye full of dreams & intentions the other is full of broken mirrors
& cracked church bells
i have one eye full of rivers & welcomes the other is full of flickers & fades
i have
a memory full of paths & anointings a mouth full of ripe infant suns
seven legs for the dancing river & the clement abyss & a hope that corrodes the convulsions
we bless the long rough road we bless the inscrutable darkness
where our names are rent into spirit
we bless the splinters & the air full of asphyxiations & amnesia
we bless our lacerations & our deformities
we bless the belligerent strangers who stay on in our throats
long after forgotten festivities

Read this excerpt from "the light of gandhi's lamp" by hilary kromberg inglis, in which she describes driving to the police station where her sister is being detained. to avoid looking at the blackened windows at the top of the building and thinking about the history of who had died or been tortured there, i always looked instead at the little chinese restaurant on the opposite side of the road. how does this passage affect the text? it conveys, with great subtlety, the conflict she felt over having a sister who would break the law and end up in the custody of the police. it conveys, without any implied moral judgment, that those who fought against apartheid considered themselves to be soldiers in a just war. it conveys, with an extended metaphor, the idea that being detained by the police in this society was regarded as a badge of honor. it conveys, with direct language, the view held by many anti-apartheid activists that the police often acted in brutal and unlawful ways.
