Forgotten Lady

It was a mast, long and lusty...
lt unfurled an unknown flag...
The wooden ship anchored...
White boots stepped into
the silver sand...
Men of naive natives
welcomed...
Lewd Whites sought
and slaughtered...
Some defied with mud and stones...
She fled, some bleed....
She ran again and again...
refuged in a cave...
Brave lady of bygone days
immortalized but untold..
Mythicized but untaught
and unlearned....
Oh Doughty daughter of Agatti !
Sleep well !
