I could not coax this site into publishing "There are no Foreign Accents in Texas," but this short poem is available at:

A weak version for HP:

                              There are no Foreign Accents in Texas

                       “For all its enormous range of space, climate, and
                         physical appearance, and for all the internal
                         squabbles, contentions, and strivings, Texas has a
                         tight cohesiveness perhaps stronger than any other
                         section of America.”

                                                   – John Steinbeck

There are no foreign accents here, right?
A foreign accent is for a foreigner
And there are no foreigners here
The land belongs to all of us and to no one

Before even the First Nations there was the land
And we humans have come in successive waves
Betraying each other with conquest and blood
Violence and betrayal instead of feasting

But we are trying to make it better now -
There are no foreign accents here, right?
