On This Day In 1492
On this day in 1492,
Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
He sailed until someone said, "Land!"
And then, the real voyage began.
A trail of tears and decimation;
someday it would build a nation.
But, not until those who came before,
were gone and silent, used up, no more.
Today, we stand on a land of spoil.
We wonder what it must have been like to toil
like Columbus and his Merry Men;
were they evil, kind, or vaguely ken?
Today, in twenty-ten and two,
we know Columbus sailed that ocean blue.
But, could it be he missed the goal?
To till not for soil, but rather, for souls?
