Human Children Of Amen

Hot glaring sunlight stabs my clear blue eyes
and ultraviolet rays pierce my pale skin
as I walk the dirt trail among pine trees
around the bright lake in the hills of Georgia.
Why is my skin so pale like the soft peach
that hangs heavy from the stout sprawling trees
and blossoms in the harsh yellow sunlight
which gleams timeless heat on the hills of Georgia?
Entering cool library on the college campus
where records of human history are stored,
I research ancient legends to discern
how four races sprout from one human species.
We originate in land of Egyptia
where Mother Amen taught us to sing hymns
while we gathered on flat-top pyramids
to feast safe when the river floods farm fields.
All humans sprout from that first mother clan,
radiating outward around the whole world
to colonize every lush river valley
and feast together in the temple hall.
The tribes of India, Asia, and America
retained red skin and black eyes of Egyptians,
remembering the Ways of First Mother Amen
who taught us how to sing in harmony.
One tribe walked east in the Eurasian steppes,
transforming through hostile environment
into people with gold skin and black eyes
who survive the beat of the blowing wind.
One tribe walked west in the Sahara desert,
transforming through hostile environment
into people with brown skin and black eyes
who survive the light of the glaring sun.
One tribe walked north in the Caucasus Mountains,
transforming through hostile environment
into people with white skin and blue eyes
who survive the gloom of the thunder cloud.
We simplify many tribes of the Earth
into four races based on our skin color,
red, yellow, black, and white, but we are all
Children of Amen, mother of all nations.
The environment where ancestors live
molds their bodies through many generations
to match amount of sunlight gleaming bright
so we can best survive the heat or cold.
Once thing all colored nations of the world
share in common, skin shaded white to black,
is how we survived harsh environments
with ingenuity of our human minds.
Now that all regions of the world connect
through one hundred years of technology,
cars, planes, phones, and computer internet,
we can unite to share our fertile globe.
I know this simple vision of our world,
united through cooperation in peace,
seems over-optimistic and naive,
but I hope we can transcend differences.
Divided by factions of nationalists,
who want to conquer all other world tribes,
we find ourselves driven to fight world wars
till one culture assimilates all others.
Over the past two hundred years of change
we have fought slave-traders and nationalists,
defeating the confederacy and the nazis
to support freedom of Democracy.
Nationalists who believe their race is superior,
and fundamentalists of fascist religions,
are always trying to conquer and subdue
the free and honest peoples of the world.
Our liberal principles of liberty
through equality of justice for all
are under assault by the fascist nazis,
but freedom prevails against tyranny.
No matter the color of skin and eyes
we are all human Children of Amen,
so we gather in her Temple of Truth
to feast and sing for global unity.
