Civil EuropeA Poem by Abdul Batin Osman BeyInspired by Hosea Easton who was an abolitionist who had connections to North Bridgewater and Middleborough in Massachusetts.Boast not of your Civilization You harbingers of ill intent Say not that you are superior So called civilized Europeans You who used brutal tactics on each other You who plundered the worlds natural resources You who cast aside indigenous peoples without thought You who treated your fellow humans as animals You who chained your Black Fathers and Brown Mothers You who have declared war on the Universe itself Boast not Crawl back your holes Beg God for mercy You abominations must end The science of destruction must be taking away A gift you were giving A chance to be civilized Chance to reach the seven layers of heaven Graciously Black Kings and Brown Queens taught you Asiatic philosophers, Artists and builders aided you Instead of growing in peace you grew in savagery Instead of becoming enlightened you hollowed the earth and stayed in the dark spaces Forcing your ungodly will on all of the inhabitants of earth Ask for mercy Beg God for mercy © 2012 Abdul Batin Osman BeyAuthor's Note
