Mayan Mayhem

I took a tour of a Mayan

Temple and this teenager was

Torn up by the turn of the guides

Telling of the events; groaning

For the loss of the indigenous

People’s right to heave humans off

The top of the stone towers. Even

More groans when he learned it was those

“Damn, colonizing, Catholic

Spaniards” whom converted those poor

Souls, killing their temple culture;

Teaching Christ which all pointed to.
