Analysis of the poem the night train by fhazel johennesse?
The poem is about a South African man who is traveling from Johannesburg, likely back to his home after a day of work. He sits in the third-class car, as evidenced by the green seats. Only the third class cars had green seats; upper-class train cars had blue seats. He looks around in fear, worried about his own safety on the train. As he speaks, the train car becomes a metaphor for all of South Africa and the need for safety, and his regret and his pain that his home country is no longer safe for him.
