Broken-Africa 9-24-10

A broken people
Destined to fulfill the destiny of the "white devil"
Emerging now as misunderstood
A broken people with a broken scattered culture
Noone can save them now
Exploitation and oppression
Take over the land and the suffering people
Exploitation even comes from within
It even seeps in via their own people.

A broken land
Used as a war ground for outside and inside forces
There is no way to successfully describe this
The land used to belong to the natives, even in the USA
and now it gets exploited
Used until it can be used no more, then cast away.
The people can no longer accept the land as their equal
Because the land is no longer theirs.

Africans have never tried to conquer other people
They have never traveled to distant seas
Or felt the use of their land as useful
The only way they are connected to the land anymore
Is to be its slave
They have never oppressed another whole culture and society
Other than the opes who have traded, enslaved, and burdened their own.

Now after colonialism, the land and people are at war
In a place where they never knew of God before
Now the people fight for those who are Christian
Or also those who are Muslim.

They have been converted to either one by a people who know nothing of Africa
They know nothing of their kind of struggle
There is post colonialism now
"Neo-colonialism"
A new term for a new era of leaders who were taught well, to well, by the white and Arab men before them.

Catch the knowledge of this ,
In your own empathetic consciousness
Praise knowledge for it is the only aspect of life that can be protected freely
People die for religion, ethnicity, and land wars,
And life goes on in Broken Africa
Missionaries doomed the broken with their good god fearing intent
How do I explain the word oppression:
I have never known the word.

Seperate the love from hate
It is all mixed up there
In the broken, currently unwavering continent
Hate drives oppression
And not knowing is fear as well
Just as Native Americans in North America were
Dutifully stripped of their heritage and culture.

Everyone knows this and yet no one understands, even I,
There is no solution to having to ring out wet sand
It is not possible
To ring out oil from water
Just as it is not possible to not see the evolution of Africa permeating into the world.

Note: This is not about every single country in Africe. Southern Sudan, Nigeria, Somalia, and many more are in wars fought everyday, over land, religion, and there are more reasons. I have become quite obsessed with the reasons for this. I want to know what the blatant deep reasons for "The white mans" supposed responsibility to assimilate the entire world to democracy and Christianity. Beyond the obvious reasons of money, power, capital, . There has to be a deeper core concept that I am not getting about how some of these countries are now in Africa. And as I sad it is not all of Africa, but I have seen too much and researched so much that the blood shed and oppression of the people of the above said countries is undeniable. And now it is not white people doing it, maybe white people are but more behind the scenes while providing aid at that, it African-Christians and African-Muslims. There are many good aspects of Africa this is just a writing, a poem I wrote while in deep thought, I have not meant to offend anyone.
