Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

Alternative Truth

How dare you!
The masses were enthralled.
Christopher Columbus was going to get himself imprisoned.

It is treason!
It is blasphemy!
It is not what we believe!

Even if it is the truth? Christopher asked the queen.
Especially then, she said, as they dragged him to the dungeon.
