Reverse Video - What if?

(Poetic musings of an Angry Black Man)
Olufemi Anthony (06/1996)


What if we woke up and it was all reverse video?
Would Blacks be dominant and rule things, hell no !!
You see our skin is only part of our inglory
Its time we get to know our real story

What if we had stolen gunpowder from the Chinese?
Would we then be saying "crackers please !!"
Would Mother Africa have colonized Europe?
Would we see John Bull bushwhacked by a Black cop?

What if the Maker had reversed the lenses?
Would Black existence then seem so senseless?

Would we be dominant, would that be positive?
Or would it be just a double negative?
