This work is barift of humore. Life - and death - sadly like that. A short very short history - a bomarang of history.


IRONIC

Europe - especially - great Britain
Went out in to the world - uninvited
As colonizers
In 1844 - The Great Powers
First carve up of Africa
Took many as slaves
Exploited - those they did not ship off
Striped country's of their resources
Easy profit motive
End of World War One
Second carve up of Africa 1919
Carved up - the Ottoman Empire
The German colonies
With pens - drew lines on maps
Like knifes - carved up country's
Dished the slices out like cake

Sugar - cotton - gold and sliver - oil - slaves
Just four resources - they - then Europeans after

Now those who were once colonized
Are now crossing European borders
Many have religion - of their own

The Europeans had taken their religion with them
Fairs - fairs - comes to mind
Some Europeans - kicking up a right stink
Now thats - ironic - irony

Yes it is ironic. They come with the religion that they have been given and hoping for the humanity that this religion purports. But they have not got a hope in (their) hell. Nice work ken.

You're right! I hadn't thought of what's going on in this way.
