Poetry is not always about the happy and marvelous feelings you may feel or want to feel, it also talks about the suffering of people while the others burst laughing at their faces. Dorian Merina shows us this type of travel, the type of travel that brings up sadness and destruction.
Merina talks about the migration of countries, the travel that this implies and the sadness that it brings. From far abroad came the ship and brought horses and sugar and they took gold and Plums. The thing is, that many times those travelers take more than what they bring leaving hungry natives and taking wonderful delights. They take goods but bring bad, they bring the powder that kills the innocent and they bring the man that will make everyone a slave. Those travels bring killing and destructions, they bring sadness and hunger. Those travels leave with their culture and food, they leave with their identity and freedom.
Merina shows us the way they combined between one and other how they created new versions of human beings that have a better position than the natives on the class scale but are still discouraged by the travelers. Everyone is a slave of the traveler now named conquerer and now everyone became the humble servant of a greedy leader.
"The boats bring blood through the water" that is what the enslaved think, but for the conquerers this travel brings discovery, riches, and wealth. Travel means allot of things depending on who is talking because as always a travel has two sides of a coin, the good and the bad.
At the end the conquerer takes it all and leaves the fruit of this adventure, for him its gold but for those staying it is pain.
Ill just finish with the answer of the day, the readers travel with poetry depending on which side of the coin they prefer, which leads to the question, in which side are you?
