Should the Great Bard, Shakespeare,
our venerable friend
Himself a child of European
expans’nist times
Have through his works express’d
racist traits in the end,
Charmingly painting in his writings
Europe’s crimes
Against unfortunate “Calibans”
in far ‘way lands
Like rapacious “Tempests” that
mercy would not know
Leaving their victims stand
with less than empty hands
Doomed to live – or rather die
- with their postures low?
