The Chase

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!

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?

The Revolt of Romance and the Returned Remedy

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

Let's Learn Geography!



Let's learn a Social Science subject called Geography

Look at our planet more closely

Through the Globe, behold its replica

Through the Map, behold its vista

Travel through Asia & Europe

The Americas too I hope

The wilderness of Australia, the glaciers of Antarctica

Every place on earth has a panorama!

Promethean Gifts

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.

Slim Pickings

In addition to indigenous peoples of the Americas known as Native Americans the country of U.S.A. is populated by those from far away other lands but now there are many in the U.S. living illegally on borrowed time as the Governement wants to deport them all for an untried unproven crime and if they do so then who will pick all the fruit and vegetable crops when they are gone back to where they're from as that's where the dollar stops

Ball Bearings

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"
