A Whiteman’s Truth

Today I thought the truth should prosper
And
I would admit
My failings to our black people

I never chose to be part
Of
The genocide
The disease
And
The wars
But
I take responsibility

It’s more like I am a victim too

Fate placed me in front of a nation
A beautiful nation
Of hunters and gatherers
And
I could not react back then

With dignity
With compassion
With conciliation
With love
With understanding
And sharing

Only with greed
