And then, Whites were gone Not even then when No Niña Pinta or Santa María No TB for NA No Auto-de-fés No pogroms Nor hollow cost All brown around town North South and Central Native America Look: on the $20 bill– Alexander Hamilton There: a Fredrick Douglas fifty Jesús? Brown. Buddha? Yellow. Tecumseh? Red. George Washington Carver? Black. No white slight, that We can build walls Separate families Deny others entry Or reclaim beige and Not run the race And finally, just behave

NOT NATIVIST
And then, Whites were gone Not even then when No Niña Pinta or Santa María No TB for NA No Auto-de-fés No pogroms Nor hollow cost All brown around town North South and Central Native America Look: on the $20 bill– Alexander Hamilton There: a Fredrick Douglas fifty Jesús? Brown. Buddha? Yellow. Tecumseh? Red. George Washington Carver? Black. No white slight, that We can build walls Separate families Deny others entry Or reclaim beige and Not run the race And finally, just behave
