Adorned in Gold

awakening : by Shaun O.

 

 

dark liquid continents slowly converge on the mouth of the great Mississippi river

like 15th century conquerors finding the coasts of the Americas, 

exploitation and greed drifting ashore.

-

but 1492 was columbus, and oceans blue

2010 is black gold adorning life (in disguise) of the sea

-

and we've dressed them, 

our brothers and sisters.

we've dressed them for the family portrait.
