Yes. Another well-written piece about an important truth that so many people are still ignoring.

This is America and this is brilliant.

The Natives (and also the unwilling imports) to this land, thank you for the poetic light that you shine. Keep shining, Bro!

Creative. Short and mighty. Love it!

A crying shame indeed. Columbine Us Day. Nicely done there. Evokes the insane violence that is part and parcel of Europeans coming to this continent.

The intent of the verbal design pairs perfectly with the powerful content of your poetic mind. #creativegenius

Very clever way of playing with words to make an important point. And as to the federal holiday thing, yeah, time to update US?

Very introspective…an eclectic and creative response to ever changing time in which we are enslaved by governments theology of Columbus but yet are not freed due to the philosophical dogma of Columbine … in other words the belief in Columbus finding a free World is so doctrinated as truth but yet failing to find the fallacies in the indoctrination of enslavement to a world excuses events like Columbine

My neighbor and friend told me that his grandmother’s name was Sapulpa. She and each member of her family were allotted an 80 acreage piece of this Indian Territory we call Oklahoma. The only way the land could be sold is for the seller to pay all federal back taxes. His is the only plot left.
