Goodbye Columbus -- Day
In the year fourteen-hundred ninety-two

He gave them worthless trinkets
So now they've 'rethinked' it --
Virtue-signaled Chris' moral turpitude...

Today's Music
Today's music scene leaves me aghast
My idea of music is indigenous with the past
A different scene has evolved
One of reality unsolved
A dark foreboding vision of the future has been cast...

battle paper butterflies
The indigenous as usual

Native American
Let them see,
Indigenous blood.
Overlook all madness
Let them see the partial son
Rise with pride, not sadness
If you gave,
My face their eyes,
A trait by shape,
And fashion,
Let them see my Cherokee,
Amid my given blackness....

Violence
Voracious beasts I freely call them,
Indigenous or rather covenant leaders,
Observing our steps just to stab us behind,
Leaving us to suffer in peace,
Envying the poor man's meal,
Nuisances we turn before their eyes,
Certainly we made ourselves such
Educated fools!...
