African Supremacy
If Africa had been the most advanced
Of continents, then long before the West
And Islam had invaded and entranced
The Africans with two religions’ best
Presuppositions, Africa just might
Have colonized the rest of us. Instead
Of what’s the status quo just now, the light
Of Africa’s religions might have led
Us all to shamanism and the worship of
Dead souls long buried in the dirt. We could
Have been the slaves and could have learned to love
Imperialist idols carved from wood.
The black colonialists would be the lords
And masters of the white and yellow hordes.
