Colonization

colonization
canonizations, superior countries taking over other nations,
countries losing there freedom, threatened with nuclear bomb.
hierarchies destroyed, including kingdoms, separation of life and death,
is thin, Thin I tell you.

women raped, mixed race begun, African with arrow, white man with gun.
rebels rose, so did traitors, following instructions, like they were waiters,
Africa once one world, now divided, greedy eyes, now widened..
"i want, i want" .. but who cared, what the black man want!!!

hope is lost, so is freedom, black man read, and gained wisdom,
time to fight, now or never, we shall give it our all, now and forever.
many died, rivers of blood, but we knew at the end, 
we shall have our world.

independence!!! 

finally, now we could feast, ruling our world like beasts,
we named our nations, and got ourselves kings, we had an army,
and now could spread our wings.
for colonization was bummer... but after winter: 
we will enjoy the summer!!!
