Colonisers

They took an inch They took a yard They colonised without regard, Whilst they took they couldn’t see That human beings are they, and we. Hence they made the greatest error Filling souls with shock and terror, Claiming country they had found All upon old sacred ground. And how she cried when blood was spilled For all the people they had killed, Many mocked and many lied Hope deceased when dreams had died. The Massacres were heartless cruel And after one they had more fuel To slaughter more of innocence To build a home to build a fence. To scoff their pork, butter, cheese With rations small to only tease. Still, they laugh Still, they scorn Still, she cries when we mourn... Still, they thieve without remorse Too sinister to know the source. Though her time is nearly here To smash them all and into fear, And they shall learn to respect They shall learn to protect... All of her, and hers they wrecked.
