Colonial Mentality
The colonial mentality
Penetrated our mind and heart;
We as people felt inferior
Race after the raiders depart.
Such invaders like the Spanish
Had influenced our attitude;
We had followed their tradition,
Thinking that those customs were good.
After we were colonized by
The United States from the west;
Yes, another culture prevailed,
As we thought that it was the best.
After we were slaved by the men
From the land of the rising sun;
We thought that the Japanese were
Superior race with their own gun.
We believed that their products were
Practically in highest grade;
We were convinced to patronize
Everything that was Japan-made.
Spain, US, and Japan are just
Powerful and truly mighty;
This is the main reason why we
Have colonial mentality.
