Opinions were clashing; the union was crumbling
Selfishness and greed reigned;
Every man spoke for himself, alliances threatened
None was ready to back down
Amidst the chaos, one wise arose and brought about a motion:
Mutually beneficial- to all parties involved, primary and secondary
The factions were now united but divided to conquer
A new era had begun
One in which the rich spoke and the poor listened
Europe was to take over Africa
They needed us as we needed their resources
They lived as animals, their lifestyles primitive
A fit excuse for imperialism; we found a justification for dehumanization
As a punishment for their crude nature,
They needed to be trained in contrast to
Their inherent behaviors; their default settings
They needed masters to survive
They were inferior and needed to be told
For now, they were just an uncivilized, illiterate,
Immature group of unattractively haughty people with nothing but.
Their lands were virgins to be raped; raw and ripe for ravaging;
Empty bodies ready to be occupied by souls
This assembly sealed their fate
A consensus was reached with a show of hands;
The document written up
The League of States had decided
