A poem written and a piece painted in honor of Ethiopia which is the only African country to never be colonized:

 

I had heard of such a world 

Bandits colonised them naught

Their fathers fighting day and night 

Alone at home their precious girls 

with spoons and spears and beans and rice 

That yoke is what oppressors brought 

That smoke is what oppressors got 

Got broke from when the pressures hot 

When goons hath fear and thieves' delight 

Their fathers never worried sick 

Their knowledge hurried patronage

If diamonds' blood had lived in quiet 

Then loud as hell their shimmer gets 

That noose too loose to get a grip 

With elegance them well equipped

Never hath the world done seen

her genius wrapped in melanin
