Cry of the Belgian's

YOU are a Tutsi:
Slender, thin nosed and silky like milk chocolate.

YOU are a Hutu:
Stout, broad nosed and black as soot.

I am a Belgian:
Powerful, beautiful and white as pearls.

YOU are Africans:
Ignorant, savage, and easily dominated.

WE are Europeans:
Intelligent, cultured, ever the subjugator.

WE are Rapists:
Greedy, destructive, ever the opportunist.

WE are Done:
But we will still enslave you from afar.

YOU are Poor:
Destroy the Tutsis and we will watch begrudgingly.

YOU will Die:
And everyone will forget quietly.

Long Ago

Five days at Ty and Anne's:

"Not much to say except that Ty is absolutely insane, but if he's having fun, that's all that really counts."
