Exploration, appropriation, domination

Humiliation, acculturation, assimilation

The captain discovers new land

Declares that it is his

Extends his hand to shake,

The hand of those he'll kill

Some die by the sword,

Others by the gun

Thousands from disease

Some will be our slaves

Convert survivors, steal their land

For this you'll be met with reward

Claim it all for God and crown

Another culture meets its doom
