Dark Moon

Poet: Ken Jordan
Poem: Dark Moon
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written: February/2014


There's a dark moon rising over
the Stars and Strips.....
An ugly wicked dark moon;

It want go away -

When you think that the most
heinous slaughter of human life,
in American history has long been
forgotten think again.

It peeks through the iniquity of
minacious clouds,to reveal the
unthinkable genocide, that took
place on American soil -

An ugly wicked dark moon  -

bleeding behind the shadows of
senseless, yet countless shed's 
of blood on the grounds of
America -

It was the worst holocaust known 
to mankind - Still to this day, it
stands alone as the most 
catastrophic loss of human life in 
World History - 

Even more  than all of the wars 
ever fought, and life lost in battle -
This was an atrocity,lead by 
Christopher Columbus, who called 
himself, "Admiral Of The Ocean Sea." 

In 1492, He set sail on his maiden 
voyage from Spain,in the Santa 
Maria, He eventually came upon
the Americas, where the indigenous 
people called Taino, ruled the
land -

But in 1493, on his second voyage 
to the Americas, It marked the 
beginning of the end for the
Taino people -

 Columbus,and his men set out to
exterminate all of the Indigenous 
people - creating the worst 
holocaust ever known throughout
the world -

When the massacre ended, 100 
million Taino Native American's,
lay dying in the dirt of their
homeland -

Columbus, had conquered his goal
as the only man left standing on
American soil -

There's a dark moon rising over
the Stars and Strips, and it won’t 
go away -

An ugly wicked dark moon -
