The World To Which The White Man Came

Nature had been at work for centuries. Centuries more
men ranged from wandered over sailed the seas that washed
each year new wonders of the so-called new world.

Men's lives are lived somewhere & often. The tale unfolds
unduly unless he wishes to render back with margin
a fact which cannot be overlooked.

Land is just the line that cuts through runs the length
along volcanic towering broken western reaches
of western wall.

Thrown across the divide it will be overcome.
Majestic forbidding carved
of little more than untold riches.
