Do they mean what they say
On the awaited sorry day?
Children taken, family kept apart
Can only damage a lonely heart
Dream tales which were told
Taken away from the old
Not as efficient as a white European
Treated not as a human being
What they knew was taken away
Expected to know the new way
Land not the same
Now ruled by the English dam
No where near as it were at the start
Why is white and black still apart?
