The invasives tell us to
go pound salt,
fill a rat's hole with sand,
play in traffic,
fly a kite,
and, essentially,
****** off.
The Mau Mau didn't hear:
Their ears were stuffed,
Their tears were gritty;
Uniformed marauders
Commanded them:
go **** yourselves.
It's hard to respond
With your head up-side-down
Near the ground
As rifle barrels pound
Sand up your ****,
With your mouth spitting
Hour glass grains.
British soldiers were brutal to the Mau Mau.
