210 - Apologise, you whites, for slavery

Apologise, you whites, for slavery;
Egyptians, Germans, you also, to Jews.
Israeli, Arab, are you two very
Ashamed of what you’ve done? And you, Hindus
And Muslims in India. Both sides lose
The hate game: ask Rwanda or Ireland.
A quilt of guilt smothers not just the news,
But history that long-dead leaders planned!
Should ‘redskins’ now regain the upper hand
In lost American territory?
Should first world self-destruct, placate the views
Of wilful victims auctioning their brand
For blood money? In every century
The race goes on, when we could simply cruise.
