The Culture
Cultural differences, I once was on a tramp ship
that plied the waters between Spain Italy Greece
occasionally France and sometimes Turkey were
most of us felt foreign; there was no easy rapport
between us and the female populace as there was
then a separation between the sexes, it appeared
there were two types of women; Tart or nun, yet
I think it was the best years of my life.
Greece has a special place in my heart; it is where
it all began the idea of democracy of which I was paid by the lovely people of Piraeus.
The western culture to hundreds of years to develop so
let us protect it and not misuse it by writing new laws
that curtail or freedom

It's almost akin to conversion of remote tribes by Christian missionaries, this ending historical traditions.

Is the last line intended to read "that curtail OUR freedom"?
Considering Greece invented the idea of democracy, it is sad that its last 100 years have seen dictatorships and a period of occupation by Nazis, as well as a civil war. One wonders for its democratic future.
