GUILT COMPLEX

GUILT COMPLEX

When redman conquered redmen
(Wiped out s neighbor tribe)
He bragged in song and story
About his genocide.
The Paleface offered treaties
To salve the loser’s pride

The Black king sold his subjects
(A thousand years or more)
Before the Honky went there
To buy them at his door.
Mau-Mau never enslave whites
They favor slaughter more

The Muslims used their black slave
As guardian of their wives
But not until they passed him
Beneath their surgeon’s knives
The Honky fought his brothers
To give slaves back their lives

The Chiefs in old Hawaii
Owned every bit of land
The Houle brought the concept
Of some for every man

There you have the story
Of Red
Brown
Black tribes’ shame
Would you care to guess on whom
They’ve fastened all the blame?
