He is no discoverer

By Erwin Jones

I was fashioned from black mud.
I was created from black dirt.
All races came from my blood.
I’m the father of all peoples
On this earth.

I’m the world’s first historian.
I was there in the beginning
When the world began.

I was the first to write on paper.
I was the first to use fire.
I told Columbus that the world was round,
He is no discoverer.
