Voyage To the New World
VOUAGE TO THE NEW WORLD
They'd not begrudge the sea a whim
let loose three ships to sail the bounding main
and cheat dear Neptune dark and grim
from claiming what is gold to where he's lain
and Isabell she rid the nation clean
'fore Chris chould sail into the sunset red
expelled them every one that Spain had seen
lest they'd destroy the culture as 'twas read.
But many came and dipped into the brine
of Baptism, then Christianed, rose all wet
thus saved in Jesus as were thee and thine
as yarmikas were twisted in their fret.
Amid their Inquisition, light has shown
to lead then out of what's thier great unknnown.
