For the Great Colonial Powers and Their Subject Nations

Cath Haftings (Omaha, NE)

We were the victors now we're the fallen
Building our graves on the bones of our victims
History looks at us and asks why did you steal
the past from my children

Was your culture so weak and foolish
It could not stand against another
Without tearing down the beliefs and ways of being
That don't fit a narrow thought
With a mind that can now only say it's all about economics
