the white man killed my father,
my father was proud.
the white man seduced my mother,
my mother was beautiful.
the white man burnt my brother beneath the noonday sun ,
my brother was strong.
his hands red with black blood
the white man turned to me ;
and in the conquerors voice said ,
boy !a chair , a napkin , a drink
