Poetry

Thankyou

written by: alf hickey

Thankyou for the food you give me
Letting me exploit you for my burger bar
Thankyou for your cheap labour
Your family's poverty and conditions

Take my words of charity
When we steal your resources for little back
When I use a product which bled your potential
Take my appreciation for the riches I have

Thanks for letting us destroy your culture
So ours could thrive today
We'll help you by assimilating you
Because we're so generous and so civilized
