COLonial Sting

With their exotica expedient

they swept through our lands

with their facade culture

faffing about condemning our treasured pride

like a fissure it was to our hearts

making us fluster 

about our very own customs and tradition

 

We were kept in an inpoundarable state of mind

making importunate demands to us

with an impricise advance

in loco parentis they were to us

 

Like lei we submissively gave ourself

trying to mollify our minds

on everything they did

leaving us with a myriad of unclad thoughts.
