If I was in fifteenth century

If I was in fifteenth century;

Columbus would be my friend.

I would have voyaged across different oceans,

Enjoyed the violent ocean breeze,

Dreamed of landing on a precious land,

Embraced first glimpse of an unknown continent

Sailed west and discovered America.

If I was in fifteenth century;

Columbus would be my envy.

I would have travelled across few villages,

Cursed the cold village breeze,

Dreamed of owning a piece of land,

Embraced a warm shelter on my head,

Sailed towards happiness and discovered surrender.

If I was in fifteenth century;

Columbus wouldn't be my inspiration.

I wouldn't have lived today,

Enjoyed despair of discovering a continent,

Dreamed of landing on an uninhabited land,

Embraced the glimpse of flying ash around an Iceland,

Sailed towards saturation and discovered boredom.
