columbus day

Location

what does columbus day mean to me

i celebrate the day off because i don't work on this particular day

it's amazing how news coverage

show a segment of the columbus day parade

and i thought

how can you have minority reporters display segment

when newsflash

columbus enslaved the taino indians

who were transported in puerto rico to the dominican republic

for what?

to find gold

gold that columbus didn't acknowledge

because not only he's a racist bastard

but greed

well, greed lead to his downfall

that's why the indians fought back and arose the same way

jesus rised from the dead

i'll celebrate columbus day alright

don't have to work that day

great day to sleep and do whatever i want
