Comfortably white/ comfortably numb

We comfortably white

Barrack for our teams on

Those religious Friday nights

As footballers crush bodies

Into each other

There he goes, Rioli , Buddy , Silk,

Balletic dancing through myriads

Of white befuddled faces

Thinking what the hell

As we champion their genius ,

But if they play for the opposite

Side they are nothing but

black bastards , trouble makers ,

Bums of the lost

A tribal war dance is seen as an

Affront

Comfortably white like comfortably

Numb just doesn’t cut it anymore .
