Progeny Of Adam -1- Poem by Michael Ejire

We are Adam's progeny,
But we separate ourselves from each other.
We are no more our brother's keeper;
Like Cain, we are diabolical.

Xenophobia feasts on our heart;
No sympathy for strangers.
We chew hate speech in the home;
We utter hate speech on media.

We look down on other race;
We must have forgotten Pangea.
Superiority complex spawns slavery;
It is psychological.

The disease of the strong is racism;
The disease of the weak is xenophobia.
Shut your door against tribalism,
And seek refuge with xenophilia.
