Especially those that are plagiarized…
To distort the origins that contradict,
From an updated freshness…
With a quick paste and clip,
To enhance what is not historic.
Like myths and legions created,
To add more flavor to the actual reality.
Instead of sweepers of streets…
Some folks are lead to believe,
They have royalty in their ancestry!
And when someone tells me they know this to be true…
I think of the Quakers and Puritans!
And others who sailed the ocean blue…
To discover a land for me and you!
Please!
And what was that between Queen Isabella,
And Christopher Columbus in 1492?
When she took a ‘special’ interest in Native Americans!
She bent over backwards…
To have them treated fairly although enslaved them!
I am not one to contemplate exactness.
Or become absorbed in facts.
Especially those that are plagiarized…
To distort the origins that contradict,
From an updated freshness…
With a quick paste and clip,
To enhance what is not historic.
But,
One has to admit…
A lot of what ‘was’
Has been romanticized to glorify,
The truth that did exist!
And who did the twisting to eventually benefit.
