Where Do I Belong?

too black for the white kids
but their parents say
i'm too white for the blacks
it's sad and dividing
like they're making us walk
on opposite side of train tracks
they talk about no racism no more
i think it's all talk and lies
they don't talk about invasions on shore 
and killing the black man where he lies 
how do you steal babies from parents
and think that's okay?
how do you rape and enslave women
the brutality began 
in botany bay
