the missionary

we hear this man speaking in a language that isn’t ours
he reaches out a hand, waiting for us to take it
we are aware of his much lighter skin
we see that his hair colour is different
we realise that he can’t be our fellow man
the question is whether we take his hand
his friendly face makes us confused
his joyful voice makes us friendly
we completely forget about our fellow men
who’s watching us all around
it seems as though we can only see the white man
it wouldn’t matter if the shaman said:

“the white man’s friendly face is a lie
our country will fall apart if you take his hand
his friendly face covers his scheming mind
his reached hand doesn’t show his readiness to start a war
they’re only playing nice to colonise our country
upon taking his hand he will tell his soldiers:
“this country is also now our colony
in the name of god, the natives now belong to the king
let’s rise up our flag on top of the hill
afterwards the natives shall become danes.”
their minds will be brainwashed with the strangers’ way of living.”
our children’s blood will then be contaminated
and be told that they can’t become independent
the strangers will take our heritage
the natives will cease to exist
let’s get rid of this man instead of taking his hand
