Poem in Response to Aleutian Sparrow

The Aleutians were denied life and liberty.
How could a country founded on these principles
be so blind?
The Aleutians were treated like animals because they looked Japanese.
How could a country so diverse
be so ignorant?
The Aleutians rebuilt their life, given nothing.
How could a culture destroyed without reason
be so ambitious?
