The Truth About Chris

In 1492 a beast named Columbus sailed the seas, Arrived in America to spread Christianity and deadly disease. Skilled sailor and a monstrous crusader, Talented navigator but a heartless invader. When he sailed the ocean blue with his crew he didn’t have a clue, Claimed earth was pear shaped, yes that fact is true. What about his bloody reign of terror, a legacy so unspeakably cruel, They need to teach that to all the children in school. History heavily edited, kids fed false information, The truth is that gold was Chris’s motivation. Learn real history about how slaves were taken back to Spain, Hispanics are not Spanish, do I really need to explain? His crimes are chilling, how can anybody admire this villain? And celebrating Columbus Day mystifies me, it just glorifies killing. Honouring the father of the transatlantic slave trade and his barbaric crusade, Costing the tax payers millions of dollars each year for a silly parade. The first American terrorist, a criminal racist, what more can I say? Stop glorifying this monster, abolish Columbus Day.
