Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Columbus Day Controversy

October, the second Monday,
Columbus Day proclaimed to be
A holiday the U.S. way,
Focused on non reality.
Italians did lobby until
FDR and the government
Gave into the lobbying will,
And gave Columbus Day consent.
Columbus and his sailors came
To the Americas and were
Prime examples of human shame,
Mistreating the locals for sure.

To celebrate Columbus is
To celebrate some nasty biz.
