Smell the freedom (Part I) - Bruce V. Bracken's All-Purpose Poetry Thing

Hey, African child!
Have you ever wondered
Why you were born in that skin?
To serve a community leader?
When is it your turn
To serve your own mind?

Wake up, wake up!
Smell the freedom!
Disobey the draft!
Wake up, wake up!
Smell the freedom!
Don't pay their graft!

Hey, Chicano child!
Have you ever wondered
Why you were born in that skin?
To serve La Raza, to serve LULAC?
When is it your turn
To serve your own mind?

Wake up, wake up!
Smell the freedom!
Disobey the draft!
Wake up, wake up!
Smell the freedom!
Don't pay their graft!
