Walking through the woods I saw a sign nailed to a tree
I knew the sign was meant for girls like me who couldn’t read
A man with a girl by the throat
A bottle of dettol
A bottle of rum
And a painting of smoke
Coming off of a settler’s roof
It looked just like a house I knew
Walking down the street I saw a sign nailed to a tree
I knew the sign was made for girls like me who couldn’t read
The rain came down I shut my eyes
I opened them again
I tried real hard to make some sense of what the pictures meant
A man hanging down from a tree
A man that look something like me
A bottle of dettol
A bottle of pills
And a painting of smoke
Coming out of a house on fire
It looked just like my neighbors house
C is for civilized now we will make you
And B is for baptism now we will name you
And P its for petticoat pretty and fitting
Now here is the paper that said you were willing
