Drinking San Miguel at the Spanish Gate.
Naval Base Subic Bay.
A Cold War hovered above my head.
The jukebox rocked Tom Petty.
“Somewhere, somehow, somebody
“Must’ve kicked you around. son.”
I’d been kicked around enough to know
That life was a hit and run.
And I’d pondered it many a dark watch,
The fate of the refugee.
For what useful thing is freedom
If not paired with agency?
Now, many years later, watching the news,
I think of the words of that song,
While reality echoes the chorus for millions,
Proving Tom Petty wrong.
How many galleons per mile
Were spread the grand Armada fleet,
Hoping strong England to defile
After a huge naval defeat?
Surging steady through stormy seas
How many galleons per mile
To drag brave England to its knees
With solemn Spaniards sans smiles?
Dark clouded seas were fierce and vile.
Tempest scattered ships hit the coast
How many galleons per mile
Could Philip, king of Spain, still boast?
From Cornwall’s shores to Calais rocks
Drake’s large guns, beyond denial,
Scattered and sunk Spain’s sons, in shock.
How many galleons per mile?
In History, Nelson fought the Spanish
This powerful Armada did vanish
My ancestor was in thrall
Kismet Hardy had a ball
No invasion, the infidels, banished
