  23. What is the message of this poem? Leave the ingredients to simmer. As they mix and blend allow their languages to flourishBinding them together with English. Allow time to be cool.Add some unity, understanding, and respect for the future,Serve with justiceAnd enjoy. Note: All the ingredients are equally important. Treating one ingredient better than another will leave a bitter unpleasant taste.Warning: An unequal spread of justice will damage the people and cause pain. Give justice and equality to all. Take some Picts, Celts and SiluresAnd let them settle,Then overrun them with Roman conquerors. Remove the Romans after approximately 400 yearsAdd lots of Norman French to someAngles, Saxons, Jutes and Vikings, then stir vigorously. Mix some hot Chileans, cool Jamaicans, Dominicans,Trinidadians and Bajans with some Ethiopians, Chinese,Vietnamese and Sudanese. Then take a blend of Somalians, Sri Lankans, NigeriansAnd Pakistanis, Combine with some GuyaneseAnd turn up the heat. Benjamin Zephaniah THE BRITISH
