ONCE THE EUROPEANS ARE GONE FROM OUR CONTINENT
Once the Europeans are gone,
all of them gone,
from our lands,
from all our continent;
can we ever trust them again?
Once they are all back home
to their Germanic lands,
to their Latin Lands, their Slavic lands,
their Celtic lands;
can we ever really trust them again?
Can we so easily forgive their genocide of us,
their causing smallpox holocaust on us,
killing 100 million of us,
killing 95% of us,
till we were almost all killed
by their smallpox biological weapon,
till we were nearly extinct and gone;
can we ever really trust them again?
After they destroyed our cities and civilizations,
after they burned our libraries and universities,
after they outlawed our history,
after they outlawed our warriors,
after they outlawed our thinkers, philosophers, and poets,
and kept us as slaves for almost 600 years;
can we ever really trust them again,
into our homes, into our lands, into our forgiveness?
Our identity after liberation will be built
on one idea alone:
NEVER WILL EUROPEANS ENTER OUR LANDS,
never will they step foot on our continent,
never will we allow them close enough to see or hear,
never will we forgive them,
never will we forget
that they almost exterminated us,
that they culturally castrated us,
that they robbed us and raped us
for 500 years,
that we were kept slaves in poverty,
that we were kept in a lesser humanity,
that we were made to hate ourselves and to love them.
NEVER WILL EUROPEANS ENTER OUR LANDS
once we have ousted them,
and sent them to their homelands of Europe.
NEVER WILL EUROPEANS ENTER OUR MINDS
other than to remind us
of all of their crimes
and how they almost made us extinct.
