The photographs on the wall
dressed like robbers
cloaked in intellectual garb
heads filled with education
built on faulty premises
The veils of past lies
grow thin with time
images and voices of the evil spreaders
through fairytales meant to brainwash
nations of black, yellow and red people
by pounding them in their ears
incantations of of white goodness
in steady strokes in the same vein
they slowly are indoctrinated
to accept their inferior role
The harbingers of the master plot
of centuries in the making
thought they were creating magic
That would sustain their imagined power
For all eternity.
They created their theories
and made them stick
by cajoling and disempowering
the souls they colonized
stripping them of human dignity
But the shell of the seed must give way
to light and growth without any prompting
Nations emerged victoriously thrashing
false mantles that were erected
knowledge explodes every where
technologies shatter secret caverns
light gives way to darkness
Peoples take their rightful places beside each other
on the ground of equality.
