Dark Moon

Poet: Ken Jordan Poem: Dark Moon Edited by: Sparkle Jordan written: February2014 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, 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  and 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, and discovered 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 on the sand in 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, It want go away - An ugly wicked dark  moon -
