In old colonialism white guys took what was colored
Called it empire, called it civilizing the darkies.
Darkies eventually had enough, sent whites
Back to Europe. Even the U S came to regret
Its invasive war against Philippine patriots
Though it held onto Puerto Rico, other islands, Hawaii.
We decided to let Panama have the Canal, Cuba kicked
Our butt and the casino mafia out and installed a rule
We would despise. Still we spread military everywhere
To make the world safe for democracy and capitalism.
Now the colored and dark are abandoning their deserts,
Their greedy dictators, and invading the imperialists,
Seeking life like ours. At first Germany welcomed hordes,
France was also generous early on to “protectorates.”
The rainbow once Englands’ now looks for its pot of gold.
