Not to honor but to single me out—
Accepting African American:-
For you, that was what it was all about;
Scoring me as once an enslaved human.
Uprooted and stolen were Blacks like me;
Sardined-canned in bottoms of cargo ships.
Ours arriving here were not those of the free;
No, we were chained and unloaded with whips.
The indigenous people you found here,
You likewise treated as wild animals;
Naveling them with the greatest of fear,
As if you were the devils’s cardinals:-
Severing them from this, their native land,
You now call them Native American.
