History is a Mystery!
because you see
His-Story being correct
We should also have knowledge of Her-Story
but history springs
from the stench of impaled hopes
by confining women
to the kitchen or bedroom
its trail
is written in blood and rape
from the moment
Columbus dropped anchor off Guanahani
and with sheer arrogance and impunity
claimed discovery

History is a Mystery!
because you see
History being correct
We would not dare
to call the Caribs and Apache
a savage and warlike people
For if a man
came to your home
and in return for your hospitality
proceeded to rape your mother, wife
and daughter
then beat you mercilessly
not to mention steal all your land
and property
we might forgive you for being
a little savage too - occasionally

History is a Mystery
because you see
History being correct
it would have been torn apart long ago
levelling all the gospellers
and sodomizing priests
whose hoarse mumblings
muttered over silver chalices raised in praise
and filled to over-flowing with the blood
of sufferers
was generously accompanied
by communion wafers dipped in shit
for the body of Christ is no more
and in its place
remains only a rotten, stinking corpse
festering with sores
maggots crawling from every wound
that fed every ism and schism
that came our way
and continues to this day
in spite of all
the rhetoric about
independence and fair play

History is a Mystery!
because you see
History being correct
there would not be
any mention of law and order
or democracy
because we would
realize that its only outlaw law
and democracy is merely a guize
for all manner of indecency

Histroy is a Mystery!
because you see
History being correct
we would not have to
scream Murder! Murder!! Murder!!!
every day
But you see History
is not correct
it is by design a tool
used to keep us masked and strangers
for just like they
stole the country from
the Mohawk, Ojibway, Mic-mac, Warahoon and Cree
their stealing more than that
by the year, weekly, every day,
hourly, minute by minute
from your mind….
your mind …
your mind …
your mind …
your mind …
for ever and ever
ever … ever …
ever … ever …
ever … ever …
ever
