Baa baa white sheep,
have you any wool!
Yes sir, yes sir,
London tower full.

Pull it over your eyes,
or weave it into blanket.
All stink of blood and blunder,
a scent second not even to crumpet.

Imperials rise upon indigenous fall,
declaring themselves as light-bringer.
Native tears form kohinoor on the crown,
Blood is but cologne to the colonizer.

Not all of colonial descent are colonizer,
but those who take pride in the past are.
To these animal ghosts of the human world,
no matter your ethnicity send a get well card.

Colonials go home, not to England
or Europe, but straight to the jungle!
Only place wild animals are beautiful,
is in the dog-eat-dog spaces of the wild.

Don’t worry, once in a while we’ll visit,
like we visit any of your fellow animals.
If anything, visiting you will inspire us
further, to never deviate from integration.

Nevertheless, there is still another way,
you don’t need to be deported back to the jungle.
If there is even a smidgen of humanity in you,
now is the time to bring it out, and get help.

Otherwise, we can easily trace your family tree,
back to the time your family lived in it.
Once we do, all nine billion of us will chip in,
and hire a couple of cargo planes to deport
all you bigots to a forest fascist reserve.

You know how the dinosaurs went extinct – they committed suicide when they saw the white man coming. They said to themselves, clearly white men are the apex predator of earth, so there’s no point of us being!

Asteroids wiped out the dinosaurs, caucasteroids wiped out civilizations. Colonialism was a mass extinction event, yet no textbook has the spine to bear the burden.

You demonize hitler for his measly 6m white body count!

Americas were radiant with life, love and wonder, then columbus happened, and population dropped 90%, bengal had the world’s finest silk industry, then churchill happened, and industry collapsed, 4 million starved to death, millions massacred across india, like australia, like leopold-infestation in congo.

Everywhere the white man has laid his eyes on, plague, famine and massacre has followed, and they had the gall to send missionaries to the south – ubuntu, advaita, aztecs and mayans, each could eat eurotheologies for breakfast and still have room for a 50 course meal.

In a way we should be thanking the cannibals, they were doing humanity great service, if only the africans, indians, native americans, aboriginal australians had done the same, earth would have been spared the brutalest extinction event in the history of life.

There’s no such thing as slave traders,
get your language straight, you idiots –
they were human traffickers, not traders,
you trade in commodity, not people.

Colonizers were not slave traders,
they were terrorists and traffickers;
settlers are not civilizers,
they are plague upon the civilized world.

The world outside europe was already civilized
beyond the wildest dreams of the europeans,
then those brutes set sail, and the human race
experienced an extinction level catastrophe.

To trade in human lives like livestock
is the savagest form of cannibalism –
white history sells the West as the free world,
but dig into earth history, and you’ll realize,
West is the biggest threat to life and freedom.

Here is some rectified history,
dig up the rest for yourself –
Churchill was a big fat cannibal,
Leopold was an ugly deadly virus,
Columbus was a most wanted terrorist.
