In 1620 an epic journey begins, from London to Virginia: a tale of what really was -- and what might have been...
Day by day, a Launch Day nears,
Fruit of endless toil and tears,
To be revealed this very year.
An epic tale will then unfold
That 'till today remains untold,
Of London’s riff-raff bought and sold,
Orphans, beggars, shipped from Bridewell
For a fee to Jamestowne's hell:
Their ‘swarming multitude’
Sent to Virginia servitude.
And yet…and yet…a transformation
Will make them founders of a nation,
A new people, a different breed
Will rise one day from Jonathan’s seed.
Get new work from the Wordsmithery!
