Real Americans, please stand up!
Who among us is native?
Who has a real homeland?
Did those who came on the Mayflower
Invade a foreign land?
“I’m a native of Indiana,”
I blithely assert all the time -
But my recent forebearers were immigrants.
I shouldn’t claim what’s not mine.
People are chased from their “homelands” –
Conquerors attack them at home
Think of the poor Ukrainians
Attacked, displaced - now they roam.
Ukrainians represent all of us
They fight for our legacy -
Freedom for every one of us -
Versus white male supremacy.
