We
by Carmen H Gray
What is this place?
Seized from its tribal roots
Built on the backs of African slaves
Japanese Railroad workers
Irish street and sewer laborers
Mexican laundresses and servants
Wealthy babes nursing at the breasts of slaves
An amalgamation of colors, languages, foods, beliefs
Founding Fathers my ass
America was not lost
Therefore, it could not be found
Thus, we are still becoming
US of Another
