"No Blacks"

 


“No Blacks”
Here’s a humanitarian disgrace:
As murderous tanks roll into Ukraine,
You can’t board a train if you’ve got a black face.
A scared young mother, trapped in a place,
Where racist militias, are given free reign;
Here’s a humanitarian disgrace.
Nigerian members of the human race,
Are told by guards again and again:
You can’t board a train if you've got a black face.
Indian kids in a wide open space
Waiting for days in the freezing cold rain;
Here’s a humanitarian disgrace.
Border police armed with batons give chase,
To African students begging in vain,
You can’t board a train if you've got a black face.
Even the Daily Mail’s on the case;
The headlines read like a dirty stain;
Here’s a humanitarian disgrace:
You can’t board a train if you've got a black face.
