Give Us A F*cking Break

The metallic taste of

Your hatred of ignorance

Still lies in my mouth

This morning.

I came to this Land

An Innocent

Yet I have witnessed the ignorance –

It makes men do cruel things

Put an other down as subhuman

One has fewer rights than another

And another is more equal than

His brother

But a hatred of this ignorance

Why

That’s the same thing that drove

The White Man with the bad spirit

To the free places

Encouraged them to help

As they called it

The dirty godless savages

We do not need your empires

But, thank you.

All your science has given us

Is new disease

And a hundred thousand boxes

With labels

For us to brand ourselves

And each other with

The magic has gone.

No, we don’t appreciate

Your liberal scientistic

Commanding imperialism

So
AIDS originated

In Africa

Like all the other bad, dark things

Eh?

And you think it’s Good

Aiming to support the billions

On genetically modified food

Eh?

Give us a fucking break
