Indians—Roxy Gordon (Choctaw)

 Hank Williams was an Indian,
John Kennedy was not.

Chuck Berry is an Indian,
Michael Jackson ain’t.

Street people are Indians,
presidents ain’t. 

Pancho Villa was an Indian,
Che Guevara was not. 

Los Angeles is an Indian,
New York City ain’t. 

Africa is an Indian,
Europe ain’t. 

Baseball is an Indian,
football ain’t. 

Crazy Horse was an Indian,
Custer ain’t. 

Sitting Bull was an Indian,
so were the Indian policemen who killed him. 

Poetry is an Indian,
journalism ain’t and
proper punctuation ain’t. 

Circles are Indian,
random lines are Indians.
Straight lines ain’t. 

Red meat is an Indian,
corn is an Indian,
potatoes are Indian,
fry bread is Indian.
Health food stores try
hard to be Indian. 

Living is Indian,
expecting to live forever ain’t.
