Now for a fun, historical poem...
In fourteen hundred ninety-two,
Columbus helped to spread disease and flu.
It was through sailing that he
Wished to reach the East Indies.
Instead of reaching his original destination,
He stumbled upon many a-new nation.
Despite the natives having established lives,
Columbus and his men enslaved them and gave them hives.
They did not find the route to Asian spice,
But they visited the Americas more than twice.
Through human slaughter and colonization,
Europeans furthermore extended their occupation.
Christopher Columbus was a dick,
But he has gone down in history as a heroic pick.
If you dare disagree
With Christopher Columbus' legacy,
His ghost will haunt and kill you,
Just like the hundreds of souls before you.
Appreciating politics for the way it is - needlessly perplexing and full of hot air.
