#whiteman
eyes a steely blue
skin a bone white
the lights red and blue
the air taut and tight
my fathers skin is brown
mine is fair and white
the white man calls the fuzz
the neighbors are a buzz
the man reported kidnap
feels just like a slap
we've been caught
in the white man's trap

Tie your shuka on your shoulder
Gather your shield and spear of death
The white God for now you are to soldier
Find your courage and take one last deep breath.
You thought war was made of
Those things that you gathered,
You were wrong, so we shoved
A gun and ammo for you to lather.
This is your duty, and that's what you believe
This is your duty, go out and try not to bleed
This is your duty, and that of thy enemies.
You held the gun like we showed
You walked to the place we told
You believed the lies we sold
All while wearing the white man's blindfold.
With a smile and a glimmer of hope
The men you sought
Found you first
And now you rest
Under the dry dirt.
But that's ok for they
Were only shooting
In the name of Duty,
So Hooray!
