Shush! Lips sealed. Ears closed. Eyes shut.
Not a murmur, not a hint, speak not of what
humanity is capable of. Think deicide
matricide, patricide, genocide. Imagine also
fratricide, both Biblical and historical but say
nothing and instead look in your rage and
disbelief for causes and blame far more
palatable, stifle fact and history for it stings
in echo of the pain and suffering of untold
unheard, unwanted dimensions of truth. Cast
about for blame seething with the rage of
racism and tamp down the suffocating history
of tribal slavery, the pillage of humanity in
the darkness of the soul of darkest Africa led
not by conquering Europeans but by Black
tribes looting and killing and enslaving their
own, aided, abetted and partnered by their
pious co-religionists setting the stage by
showing the way for trade in Black slavery.
