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 -
