Columbus Ave.

Born in the European world Brave, Smart, and Determined. He voyaged to a new world And started the largest Genocide. Killing ninety five percent of the population, He declared the land his Enslaving the Indians and taking everything for him. The thoughtful Columbus is praised, For finding your new home. The new house is perfect, Sunny windows, three bathrooms, wall to wall carpeting. The back yard has a history, Where millions of bodies are buried. Just under the birdbath one hears the chants of natives. But those wailing ancients do not offer the comfort of A swimming pool and walk-in closets. America – home of the brave, The smart, The determined. We say we slaved to buy our dream, Innocently nestled on Columbus Avenue
