African Supremacy

            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.
