[hometext] => (at 1626, in Saint Kitts,( A country in the Caribbean’s) French colonialists slaughtered 2000 Kalinago people by the side of Stone fort river.This is known as the Kalingo genocide.
[bodytext] => Walking by the Bloody River, Touch the mud there, Of blood, of sarcasm. Have you heard of it, Laughs made of blood? When great battles are won, Victors cry, for the fallen, For the rival; if they are humans. Yet, no victory, without morality, Said the old man. Did anyone cried for the Kalinagoes? No. None, Why would they? They are the man eaters, the voodoo dolle’rs, Beasts in human form. Still, it was Liamuiaga, An isle of their own, No one invited you here! Indeed they came, With civilization, Phony & vacant. Their guns whispered, To finish them all. And, they did; with splendor, At bloody point. Liamuiaga, the fertile land Changed into Sant Jago, By the great Columbus. Seeds of new world, Turned into fruits of blood, Here at Caribbean, Blue, warm. Some say, Blood mingled for three days In this dark River, Dead bodies dumped, By the place of god, Ha! God, is there?
