why i hate christopher columbus

by joel abel - Taurus

christopher columbus
never discovered
a fucking thing.

7 million indians
had been living
in amerikka for
10,000 years
before this diseased
european ever
saw the ocean...

and in all that time
not a single
smokestack
or inquisition.
not a single dime
sent to the vatican
to fund holy wars.
not a single 
jihad.
not a single typhoid 
infested blanket
was given to a child.

instead peole loved
the earth, and sought
harmony with it.

not a single dream of 
slavery.
not a single dream
of burger king.

so you tell me...
what the fuck
did 
christopher columbus
discover?
