Figuring it out, there’s no need for me to work on it.

Out there, doesn’t need any figuring.

It’s already been figured.

Once, out there, we

were all black.

All African.

Superior?

Is it superior to be white?

Superior to be ignorant, unaware and with a need still,

a need still to figure out things that are out and about, things already figured           out!

It’s all in our DNA, written into us, and written out of us, in scientific studies, documents

and maps; all of it written up to be written back in again and digested.

You’ve been mapped; I’ve been mapped; they’ve been mapped.

Who are they then – that declare themselves supreme –

but know nothing about the maps of themselves?

I try to figure them out, figuratively!

Can such figures even be human?

Do they have DNA?

Such figures,

I figure,

must be nobodies.

Machines?

The article, Neo-Nazi Threat, which featured in The Guardian, gave me need to put my fingers to the keyboard and address a question that I’ve been trying to figure out for some time:

What are the Neo-Nazis?

P.S. Notice the variety in colours, even with machines! (See featured image from Pixabay.com)

I write poetry, short stories, travel journals, comedy gig reviews and non-fiction articles. My wish is to write my way back into the heart of my birth land.
