Remapping the Worlda poem
by Anne Selden Annab
What if America
remained untouched:
Tribes and no medicine
beyond herbs... no property laws here
no libraries no train stations
or horses.
No Duke Ellington
& no Revolution...
No Constitution
No Bill of Rights
No Ellis Island
No Kitty Hawk
No Nuremberg Trial
& No Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Imagine then Nazi Germany in power
easily pushing all of Europe's Jews
into concentration camps-
and Israel.
Arabs and Muslims
would have no escape
and no excuses...
no Hollywood to curse
no Martin Luther King to quote...
no audience beyond their own
segregated ghettos
