African slaves

were forced to dance for their owners' pleasure
before they were crammed into the black holes
of slave-ship holds to wail, howl, vomit - and die.

Now, African dictators are urged to dance to
'democratic' tunes - for arrogant others
have decided that the end of autocracy
(though not exploitation) is nigh.
