Columbus and the Tiano Slaves

In the records from one of Columbus journeys
to the New World
Columbus was on a slave gathering mission
I will leave the details which are written  
and recorded of the crimes against humanity out
after gathering 1400 of the finest specimens
of the Tiano indigenous native people...the rest
were butchered or murdered in one way or another
it is written and recorded that Columbus remarked
'they were so full of love and absent of greed"
the story goes on to tell that all 1400 of the Tiano
Columbus took on his voyage back to Spain
died on the way, somewhere out in the ocean
this turned out to be only a pleasure cruise for
Columbus...and the King and Queen of Spain
possibly even the Pope were all heart broken
because of such a terrible disaster and they had
lost out on the money they expected to gain
from the sale of the slaves...when you read a story
such as this you want to tell yourself and believe
it is a lie it never happened...but it did
now after it settles in that it is true you have to
begin wondering...what could warrant this man
Columbus to be celebrated as America's hero
I have to look at it and say...it is a hell of a mystery
the scholars who made these records  
public knowledge go on to say that Columbus
was the most prolific serial killer in history
