Columbus did not
credit himself with finding
Our America
Who then first said this?
Was politics part of game?
Columbus no blame!

How Christopher Columbus
Discovered America, isn't clear.
If I'm not mistaken, the natives
Already knew it was here.
Won a third

Ah, If Columbus had not sailed
for America: the new land,
cigarettes wouldn't kill
those feeling the chill...
many would be alive, not dead!

Unasked questions hide truths from you
Asking them offers hope
Why did the East long shun Europe
Until post - '92 [1492]

cross fetid swamps,
or be Columbus and
discover "novel world"!?

Columbus despised local folk
Like Trump, he fibbed as he spoke
But truth be told
He wanted their gold
And you know that man ended up broke

When Morning Star saw Standing Bear
She could make love right then and there
Then Columbus came
And cursed it a shame
Now Justice rules who, how, and where!

“exotic spices”
Christopher came among us
going by the name Columbus
far from the Far East
he accomplished at least
the spread of disease like a fungus

landing on a land
that wasn't the one
someone else had
found years before
but all the same
naming it and it's
people what they
were supposed
to have been

I do not know?
Every treaty they make
makes to cheat me
to
dislocate me
from my
territory
and on the plains
it is so plain to see
that a treaty's not
worth
diddly squat.

In the year fourteen-hundred ninety-two
Indigenous Peoples, Columbus screwed --
He gave them worthless trinkets
So now they've 'rethinked' it --
Virtue-signaled Chris' moral turpitude

Statues, iconoclasts love to destroy
Toppling monuments brings them great joy
Keeps them all limber
As they shout ‘Timber’
Columbus crashed down saying ~ ‘Land ahoy’

Christopher Columbus
Went on a voyage to
See the sea blue
And while there he slaughtered
Enthusiastically,
The people now gone and
He got fame free

Christopher Columbus’s claims were outlandish.
Queen Isabella was truly upstandish.
The court said he would fall off the edge.
So they bombarded him with mean sledge.
The queen still gave three ships to trycandish.

Appreciative
Six o`clock
In the morning
Is the best time
To get up when it is summer
Stay on the terrace
Inhale the air
Before it gets hot
Make a coffee
Just being alive
Elderliness is to be grateful
For little things

Christopher Columbus,
Swopped his compass for a rhombus,
Embarked upon new shores with ‘Ooh arrs,’
That knocked America out with fifty stars

So I'd drive, in an instant,
Miles only minutes between us,
There's no distance,
I'm the minus and you're the plus.
I'll follow my compass,
Down any road that comes forth,
Like Columbus,
I'm an Explorer baby, you're my true north.

New tenant, new tile,
Got me Christopher
Columbus,
Didn't come to
Harm us
Or else, I tag him
Vincent Price,
Twice as nice in
Dracula Drag.

a vision is what Columbus saw
looking across the sea
a visionary is what we become
if we do believe
a vision can be anything, a belief,
a cause a discovery not yet known
a secret place, a cure
an easier way, a seed not yet sown
