Colonialism

How did you justify
Stealing and killing
From those who own
But are unwilling?You used religion
And science to say
They are below you
In made up waysAnd now you use arrogance
And discrimination
To control equals or betters
Even in the same nationJokes are used
Hurtfully…
To hide behind
Insidiously…And statues are used
To glorify the pillage
They poison the nation
& weaken it with spillageThe spawn of public schools
Like Eton & Harrow
Brutal and shameless
Monsters of sorrowBut inherited wealth
Can’t be repeated
Change must come, cos
The future can’t be cheatedThe past can hold back
Or help evolve to find
New ways that include
New ties that bind
