what if the roots
white cultures insatiable appetite
for all things black
lives within bible lies…
whites steal the music,
dance,
stylistic image,
language
and sometimes lives
all based in a longing
for a real image of Jesus to worship –
no white faced, hippy haired,
miracle practitioner
was ever born
in the land surrounding the Mediterranean
look at the Egyptians,
Libyans or Turks
Syrians or Greeks….
I suppose that France and Spain touch it too
but, if Jesus heralded from Europe proper
non-whites would only be in museums,
a memory in antiquity…
yet this is not the case
because real Jesus was black
and all the cultural theft
is just the white man
trying to find god --
