Dicovery and conquest of America from an indigenous point of view.
Sun shines warmly against azure blue sky
Plush green grass beckons a soft breeze
Children bronzed and reddened dance
Laughing, running, jumping and rolling
Sun smiles
Wind tickles
Earth embraces her children's joy.
They are One

Angry waters rush slamming fists of rage
Dark ominous creatures fight his crests
Pale figures crouch low in its belly
Listening, wailing, praying and hoping
Sky weeps
Wind thrashes
Earth silently awaits the creature's cargo
They bring the One

Bronzed and reddened open arms
Dancing, singing, feasting and trading
Young ones smile
Elders teach the circle path
Sun warms
Wind kisses
Earth embraces her new children
They believe they are One

Pale ones whisper in the dark
Longing for lives lost to the voyage
Fearful, tired, forlorn and weak
They do not hear, they do not see
Expectation shattered
Spirit lost
Beseeching prayers carried to moonlit Sky
Pleadings to the One

Pale ones battle the angry waters once more
No longer wanting to learn, only to take
Death, destruction, contempt and power
Legacy follows to this new land
Sky darkens
Wind dies
Earth wails and embraces the lives of her people
They are One
