Story
In 1492, Christopher Columbus sailed the Ocean Blue. Thought he landed in China, kinda, to find the sign to fulfill the
assignment hes bind to. He found a new tool to use and abuse. The people couldnt refuse his intimidating crew and ruse.
Hiding behind religious views. Giving the natives bruises. In the end everybody loses.
Wanting God, Gold, and Glory, but the truth tells another story. Natives dare not see the future Admiral of the Ocean
Seas fury. This dark journey should surely be victorious, quickly with no fusses, thus, bringing riches to false priests and
priestesses.
Searching, purging for Eden, We are all heaven sent! Pillages through villages of children and women, people who
cant defend, all for the sake of amen We need things that glisten, so listen, all of your belongings, bring them!
What can we learn from this? Do not put distance, or construct a fence, return to their elegance, follow in their
footsteps. Just say good riddance, deduct your own sentence, so future generations can conjure an amends.
