Historical Poetry Collage

Don't give the black man food
give the red man liquour;
red man fool
black man nigger

Give the yellow man tool
make him railroad builder;
also give him pan
make him pull gold from river

Give black man crack, glock and things
give red man craps, slot machines

* * * *

Black will not be asked to get back,
brown can stick around;
yellow will be mellow,
the red man can get ahead, man
and white will embrace what is right
