The Black Police: A Story of Modern Australia

by A. J. Vogan

It’s only a nigger, you know;

A nigger to wallop, a nigger to slave,

To treat with a word and a blow.

“It’s only a nigger, you know;

A nigger, whose feelings are slow;

A nigger to chain up, a nigger to treat

To a kick, and a curse, and a blow.

“It’s only a nigger, you know;

It’s only a nigger, you know;

But he’s also a brother, a man like the rest,
