Black Bastards

I heard an urban white man speak
Knowingly
About we black bastards
And
The troubles we caused
His mob
The knowledge we lacked about city life

And

Forty years later
I heard him again
Praising our black souls
As we saved his white arse from an unforgiving bush
Unknowingly

And

A thousand miles from water

He loved the sight of us black bastards
