Only He Smiles

Three men

In white coats

With black guns

And white boats

Arrived

 

At a new world

Of old tales

About brave men

Who craved the Grail;

Amused

 

The men laughed

And took an axe

To the holy bark

And carved

The tree 

Impressed & shocked

The 300 natives stopped

Most burst in applause

And few dared to cross

The men

The crowd lifted them

And brung 'em to their king

Whom the men robbed

To his very last thing;

He died

And soon the land flourished

Under the might of men

Old structures now demolished;

The egg without it's hen;

It changed

The birds still sang their tunes

And flowers did still bloom

But the land wasn't the same

For the forgotten tales;

The truth

Is that the men are now long gone;

Fell like towers; withered like leaves

In the need of hour

The natives took the axe

To claim their lost power

They split the tree in half;

 

And Dante smiled from his circles
