Abbreviated History of Colonialism

It's only a dream, a burp in subconscious digestion.
A crystal sphere hold within it the universal sign for love.
The sphere and the heart sign rotate in opposite directions.
It's only a dream, so don't complicate it.

There are 365 curves down to the beach,
where the natives go to sun. Ages ago,
great balls of stones of unknown craftsmen
washed ashore on these very beaches.

This was before the arrival of seafarers,
whose spears discharged fire and thunder,
stunning the loin cloth people into submission
for over 10 generations.

The present inhabitants,
the blends and bends of cultures,
travel down to the beach in antiquated buses,
reminiscent of Mad Max vehicles.
