White Man

Everywhere the white man put his foot unerringly on unwary locals he stepped 'til they became downtrodden unable their customs to accept physically mentally financially from top to toe stern to stem to his own advantage he used abused and exploited them no matter their culture what floats their boat but gets my goat Government-approved he pushed religion down their throat lies were spoken treaties broken but we can't undo what they have done and after all these years of dislocation history has shown too little too late reparation is no compensation
