Citizen Tame
I was dis-Card-ed
as a non-European
un-American
illegal alien
Til I was homogenized
naturalized, a citizen
and legally changed
my name to John
But still could not
get initiated
by the elders
into the American tribe
Now I've changed my name
back
and tattooed the U.S. flag
to my forehead
