The White Men Scare
March 1, 2018
Down by the river
The little ones quiver
Awaiting their mothers
Their screams are smothered
As white men take
The black people break
As their land begins to quake
And their morals begin to shake
The white men scare
As they start to tear
The land they share
As they don't care
For the burden they bear
Still the white men scare
The Indigenous scream
As the Europeans dream,
Hearts are breaking at the seams
As the child they bear
Are their cause for dispair
But nor do they care
For what life has to bear
But still the white men scare
