Discovery makes known hidden secrets
indigenous Native Americans
slept soundly until ships arrived on shore
Christian soldiers set sail by stars sleepless
ordered into constellations by Greeks
visions of victory, hilts in their hands
Europeans hell-bent on tall church spires
restless wandering news correspondents
Voices long past effaced, unheard now speak
order, reason, systems set into place
inhibit inhabitants of habits
created to enjoy with song and dance
eternal tenets of tectonic plates
shifting fighting until the storm abates
