'' IT'S ONLY A DOLL , A TOY''
I were a laying out duvet covers ,White and coulerd over the barre's ,
When I herd laughter ,
Normally a good , happy sound ,
While working I am sure you'd agree ,
So I stomped to to take a look ,
What I saw horrified me , to my very spirit ,
My blood ran cold , every nerve were hot wired ,
I stormed cross , their were hung a ''gollywog*'' ,
Black , drest as an '' uncle Tom '' , big white grin upon it's face ,
Hanging by a hangman's noose ,
I told the the lad , '' that's wrong '' , ''so fucking wrong'' ,
He said '' we should laugh at the past'' , to witch I replied ,
''lagugh at that past? ''' , '' not learn from the past? '' '' then
we will repeat that past '' , ''the right wing , the fascist grow stronger ,
all over Europe '',
He said '' I am from a country ( he is a Venezuelan hear on a Spanish passport),
'' so I know all about the right wing and the like'' , '' I know about South
America , it's history , of dicktaiterships '' , I retorted '' more than you give me
credit fore
I also reckon I have more understanding than you!
I turned and walked a way , in dispear , told the acking manageress she just
said ''so what!'' ,
In despairer I returned to my laying out ,
Though the offensive '' gollywog'' , was taken down ,
It was already too lait , by far ,
I felt I was some how in the wrong ,
I despair , 70 years a goo world war two began for Britain ,
Now the war begins maybe soon with in.
