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
