They chase me out of Israel
They chase me out of the Pacific
They chase me out of Asia
They chase me out of Europe
They chase me out of the Americas
Now they are chasing me out of Africa
I have not a place to go Lord
You have heaven
Glorious Spain after 1492, and the cost
Long forgotten, but for Bartolomeo de Las Casas
O the lie of OUR WORK ETHIC! How did Catholic Iberia
Rule the Americas (1492 -1898), dominate Europe?
You can rule, too, if you enslaved all of the Americas!

could i be brave
should i make the first move
is he a fair man... or
dose he know already
what I've been through
The Spanish had armadas;
the Americas, flotillas.
The Amazon has capybara;
the Andes has chinchillas.
Kentucky has its sassafras;
Madagascar has vanilla.
Napoleon lost at Waterloo;
Frazier, in Manila.
Will a person tell the Mexicans
how to pronounce tortilla?
We tore out this hell and sank this English ship
We rafted a life till the Americas ran us dry
A sandy engagement, laughter, our world to tip
Our beats, our waves to sounds ugliest cry
In plunged your thunder to our words your stip
To have us quiet, browbeat, safe and nigh
Old masters married our merriment to desolation
Boys gauged, girls versed, and learned a false elation
Inca Indians cultivated potatoes
thousands of years before Christ.
Other indigenous domesticated tomatoes
and maize and they gave it to us.
Many centuries of artificial selection
by the indigenous people of the Americas
resulted in the development of corn plants
for the benefit of all mankind.
The Olmecs staple crop –
Promethean gifts given to us
in brotherly trust.
And we locked them in artificial Reservations.
i'm confused
not knowing
where to go
what to do
my compass
needle sticks
out reading
south by
south
west
but
google map
and my gps
suggest
another
place
as
to
where
the X
may be
yet directing
me are directions
that are directionally
my instincts telling me
you are
exactly
where
you are
meant
to
be
but by my
calculations
with sexton and
star eyed gazing
the Americas weren't
discovered by Columbus
so Colombia isn't spelled
with
a "u"
