God's Failed Experiment Poem by Yehualashet Teshome

The people prayed and prayed
For more space and wealth
Too many of them sandwiched in a small room
Called Europe
Pandemics, depression, extinction
God heard their prayers
He said
There is free land in America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand,
If you promise you won't do any harm to the locals
If you promise you won't humiliate them
By imposing your cultures and religion
You will be relieved I promise
This is my experiment
The founding fathers agreed
Wrote a constitution
Stating all men are equal
And showed it to God
God saw the statement and said
OK, I hope you will leave by your words
Then God forgot this planet
Busy running the universe
The Europeans forgot their promises
Given to the divine God
They hoarded slaves from Africa
Enslaved and murdered the locals
Dehumanized and humiliated them
God has not noticed yet
That his experiment has failed
