8000
a column of el nina fury swept ashore
with santa maria frenzy like a beastly bus
gone wild as teenagers during spring break
hedonistically frolic and cuss
oblivious of the native tribes who once
blissfully n’er dealt with a fuss
of bacchanalian, leviathan,
saturnalian proportions spreading puss when
ill animalistic germs disguised then
triangulated within an ever narrowing pen
contaminated, decimated, eradicated “red” men
once a collection of indomitable
indigenous separate “nations”
plucked by nemesis of free-wheeling invaders
who usurped america as their den
releasing poison couched as religion into the air
which indignities true colors became readily clear
when europeans “discoverers” deliberately fomented war-fare
to those whose instincts found themselves in deadly cross hair
as every square inch of “new world” grimly rustled peace in every lair
with deadly piping hot metallic bullets with near
e chance for aboriginal peoples that seemed queer
with unfamiliar customs on par with a satyr
without the means to escape for any direction they did veer
cohesion of unity did completely annihilate without a trace
forced to endure countless cruelties
i.e. a holocaust usurping space
that belonged to those who stood apart
as utopian temperate separate race
paraded as “exotic specimens” in some faraway place
bandied about as if they happen
to be some rare refinery like silken lace
cheated, finagled, inveigled, lured, oppressed,
rooted from the entire face
of their rightful home by chicanery,
frippery, illusory and base
though with hawk like vision totally blind
to banality, deviltry, effrontery, gimcrackery,
hostility though dined
with fool-hardy, mockery, travesty
from Europeans whose dreams lined
against so called “brutish and nasty”
original occupants who maligned
innocent amazingly gracefully lean peoples who did pine
for lovely bones where ancestors
warriors descendants withered on vine
against vanquished population resembling Asian creed
whence soldiers commemorated
for revenge as worshipful deed
against chiseled glorious tortured,
shackled, raped only in death freed
yet in lethality our forebears flush with greed
which cruelty, debauchery, enmity, ferocity –
essentially genocide knew no heed
feigning sincerity, yet holding murderous rapacity
to slay every hide despite plead
and exchanging peace pipe made of reed!
