Out of Africa
Out of Africa

I

Within the mist of time
the reason hides
that first caused our migration
out of Africa,
and generated evolution's color change.

II

Africa,
         the Motherland,
out of her rich soil their grew a tree,
whose boughs and branches overshadowed planet Earth.

         A tree,
whose exquisite blossoms
produce humanity's finest fruits.

Out of Africa

The allegory is in our myths and Holy Books:
we were created a single species--
the poof is in the tightly wound coils of our DNA;
in the protein pattern of our genetic code;
in the fossil evidence brought out of Africa;
we evolved in a single motherland.
