Reclusive rhymester ruminates

Alone within emotional wilderness

(mine) biding leisure time

January 19th, 2020

without reason nor rhyme,

yet woke with sublime

pained acute awareness,

how once prime

merrily rightful autochthonous occupants

their land stole equivalent value

not much more'n dime.

Simple man dwells admiring

mother nature's architrave

home of the free land of the brave

usurped with exacting vengeance

aboriginal happy hunting grounds,

yours truly cloistered within man cave

small medium at large eremite doth crave

indigenous tribes Europeans

did wantonly annihilate

and/or make deprave

viciously slaughtering Native Americans

nsync brutality wrecking

their idyllic enclave

foreigners forcibly corralling

subsequently did enslave

ruthlessly employing sacrilegious travesty

scattered smite stricken survivors

formidable invaders (countless

demoniacal explorers) rendered desolate

pristine unbroken woodland

deceit, guile, iniquitous

jawboning flavor flav,

whether or not ancestors (mine)

even tangentially linkedin

egregious mockery, travesty

yours truly never forgave

horrendous genocide early settlers

wrought onto indigenous peoples

hoodwinked, notoriously

thrashed "noble savage"

feigning burying hatchet until

last proud redman buried in his grave.

Similar saga countless instances played across

four corners of globe,

white man self anointed himself boss

subsequently slaying innocent lives

all in name of Christ crucified on cross

denying original rightful inhabitants

their preexisting misnamed

new found lands

invaders justified execrable massacres

on par with clearing away dross

trumpeting art of the deal (albeit) gross

and unfair, whereat decimated loss

lovely bones long since

covered over with moss.
