Paradiseland
Limestones, 1492
history was made for all of you
discovering treasures
uncovering coves
battering brains, crushing skulls.
A fact from you, delivered to us
your bloodlines; Adam to Kings
Backed by documents
and ancestry swabs
we have ideas and whip stings.
You have your treasure
cotton and all
this paper we were given
couldn’t cut rust
limestones 1492, they lost history to you.
Blind by the tourist
ignoring the past
live the people
of Paradiseland
