If it were possible
If it were possible to rewind
retrace the footsteps of history
if the explorers could return to their intrusive entry
into this so-called
alleged 'New World'
could they not have been kindler gentler
more interested in a different culture
from people who lived
in such a far away place
why wouldn't they have assumed that the people living in this "Old World" held entitlement to this
strange beautiful land
which they were setting foot on (without being invited)
Why did they come with hearts so full of hatred and
ignorance
Was there a mutual fear on both parts for the invaders and
the invaded
put in a human sense how can anybody possibly be on the side
of the invaders
