To Tell a Tale

The strength of hundred and one black men could not help.
      Europeans Whites came as somebody.
We did not know why we should not partake in slavery.
      Plus, the origin was not in multiplicity.

We boarded our ships in the Western Hemisphere.
      We were of sound mind and body in finding new country.
The wind was blowing very hard.
      Within this ambiance, our mind was gone.

Gone in the wind to achieve a greater determination are
      British, Irish, and Scottish families.
Eastern Hemisphere was foreseen through their pain and suffering.

Europeans Whites came as somebody.
      They found the origin as Native Tribes.
Those people had not multiplied to cover the land.
      British, Scottish, and Irish families left their ships and began farming.

Off came the horses, chickens, cows, pigs and hogs.
      They cut down trees and settle.
They built barns for the horses.
      The farm animals they fenced.

The wind blew hard and lives were lost.
      They finally found new landscape.
They were gone in the wind when they dock.
      They ported and praised the Lord.

Europeans Whites history is now made.
      They formed a great country of today.
Although through the wrongs, they brought.
      They are the brain that thought.

The origin is the Native Tribes.
      They were nomads with their minds.
They were pure in thought and depended on mother earth.
      They government was always in conference.

Gone in the wind, were Irish, Scottish, and British woman, man, and child.
      They travel the Mid-Atlantic and the East Pacific to discover 
new trepidation and trials.
      They embraced the wind to attain a better life.
