Tribes Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

tribes

What is said is said and cannot be undone
the white people take a perverse delight
in denigrating themselves as it should be
a fearful badge of honour
(Do we detect a certain pride?)
Every tribe of people where murderous against
incomers as they upset the balance of cohesion
and must be fought with cruelty.
Every tribe in the world has committed atrocities
even the Jews, when given a chance,
But only the whites revel in the false culpability.
Was literature, art, music, philosophy and morals
a white man's burden?
They come from Muslim countries to seek sanctuary
yet demand we shall bend to their will to respect
Their faith, at the same time, hates Christianity
trying to destroy those who gave them succour.
White people should be proud we achieved greatness
where others sank into barbary.
