Sacagawea
Pocahontas
Cast as Eve
So white men can love them
Be absolved for gifts they stole
Lands and women they raped
She asked for it
So brown men can blame them
Have a name for all they lost
Hijos de la chingada
She gave it to them
Hail Mary full of grace
Bear the sins of our race
Virgin cast as mother
To pay the debts of Eve
Missing and murdered
Indigenous Women
Brown girls with stolen stories
Whose bodies bear witness--
to violence wanting retribution.
