You think you are righteous?
You think you know
what is best for everyone
else? You are oppressors
of your own people!
You have filled your prisons
with the unpaid laborers
who brought your country wealth!
Your gods are money
and possessions
and popularity!
You spout:
“Peace!”
as you agitate wars!
Your righteousness
is exploitation
disguised with talk
of philanthropy!
Joseph Conrad wrote
about your “philanthropic pretense
of the whole concern,”
and he called it
Heart of Darkness!
