Dark Moon

Poem: Dark Moon

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 -
