The White Mans Greed

Why didn't we see it?
Perhaps we were blind.
They seemed so generous
They seemed so kind.

They came in great ships
from lands distant and far
their skin white as snow
and their hearts black as tar

they called themselves explorers
they claimed they came in peace.
they lavished us in wealth
the gifts never ceased.

but then something changed
they claimed our land as their own
removing their masks of kindness
and allowing their true nature to be shown

they masacured our people
and took from us our land
we will never forget the white man's greed
until our revenge is at hand!
