DESCENDANTS

The first blow to global pluralism
Was struck by Columbus when lost
His erected flags; cultural individualism
With its previous history all surpassed

Progressively all was lost to “civilization”
As the process became an instituted way
Born of territories; developed colonization
But where the developers had every say

The “developed” territories in adulthood
Would their taught captivity then imitate
To “upward mobility” so seek nationhood
Mistakenly achieving; exhibiting every trait

Encouraged by re-captive loans and grants
Re-colonized by their sheer indebtedness
So is born a governance of a mere implant
Distant but not different from Columbus’
