Poem Title:
Poem
It has come out of academia, and gets some play in the media too, they cry about ‘decolonization,’ as if time is something they can undo. They all say it is wrong to go against this, and I have only a bachelor’s degree, so who am I to question all of this? We must decolonize! Listen to me! We must look to our own America, and realize that we just don’t belong here, all pale people should go back to Europe,, but doing that’s not enough, it appears, the black people here also have to go, they must be returned to African shores, Asians must leave, and mixed blood Latins types, they can’t be tolerated here anymore. All the roads and rails also have to go, since they all came from colonizer minds, and the natives left can’t live in houses, they must return to pre-colonized times, Tipis, longhouses, and no metal tools, no medicines that aren’t native to them, smart people say we should decolonize, they must be living as nomads again! And oh, how I wish that we could stop there, but America does not stand alone, Europe once conquered so much of the world, the influences they left have now grown, like those famous Indian long-jackets, they came from British colonizer frock coats, Yoga come from British calisthenics, it must all stop if there is to be hope! Africa should not be using railroads, or surviving using high-output crops, colonizers brought these things to their lands, for the sake of their people, they must stop! The Japanese should not be building cars, or make electronics amongst the best, they should reject all of the Meiji years, should cast out all influence of the west, You cannot wear jeans or dare go online, cannot wear glasses in front of your eyes, the colleges spoke, and we must listen, throw it all out! We must decolonize! …or, we could just ignore this sh-t and go on with our lives.
