The broken heart of Africa

Looking at this documentary
I start to understand deeper
why we never learned at school
the sick truth about our past.

European pointing at islamic law,
- always accusing others of abuse -
made statues for a hand cutting king,
keep them on their socles until now.

On the site of the Belgian monarchy
there is a story about same Leopold,
at whose instigation in 1890 the start
of the anti-slavery campaign began.

There is Truth and European truth
and in particular the royal truth,
there is this past and its denial,
for you a choice to look and know.
