Mocked for a half century

 

Mocked for half a century

 

 

It’s still painful to be called an aboriginal dark- faced

It’s still choking my throat to be called black- skinned

It’s still humiliating to be called brown- skinned

It’s still annoying to be called purple- mouthed

 

It’s still shameful to be called black- faced

It’s still feels mad to be called bull eyed

It’s still sickening to be called insane

It’s still wounding to be called a cripple

 

It’s still disappointing to be called old

It’s still pathetic to be called enormous

It’s still heart wrenching to be called a nigger

It’s still sounding like gipsy slurs differently
