Compared to Brooks' other works, this poem is more explicitly political and confrontational, reflecting the heightened tensions and struggles of the apartheid era. It also differs in its use of a collective voice, as the speaker represents not only their own experiences but also those of their community.
The Near-johannesburg Boy. My way is from woe to wonder. A Black boy near Johannesburg, hot in the Hot Time. Those people do not like Black among the colors. They do not like our calling our country ours. They say our country is not ours. Those people. Visiting the world as I visit the world. Those people.
