Johnny Roosevelt Polk(b. 1969/1970, d. 31st of July 2009)

Roosevelt charged and Cuba was not libre
even nominally for years, dons just
changed to sirs as the people continued
to live on their knees.
 
Polk went and took from Mexico what
Spanish had taken from the Natives.
Vistas that no Spanish had ever seen,
no Mexican had ever travelled through,
no Yankee had ever heard of,
mountains not yet walked by the pink man,
these Polk took.
 
But Johnny Roosevelt Polk
didn't take more with him from Kirkuk
than the injury which would kill him.
No more than a small town glory
for the former sport jock,
and an orphaned daughter left behind.
