COLONISATION
COLONISATION
A country that previously stood alone
But then, to be part of a greater whole
The language adopting a different tone
And some may argue, will lose its soul
Yet there have been instances of shame
Securing and raiding natural resources
When avaricious trade stakes its claim
Even imposing rule with armed forces
But if done well, there will be a benefit
To new generations, bringing aspiration
However, one does have to think of it
As by many, it’s still called colonisation
