Why Frank's Hot Sauce Isn'T

Why Frank’s Hot Sauce isn’t
and Daylight Savings Time doesn’t
and times they ain’t changing
in a land where all white men
are created equal.

Between 1500 and 1800 
to this New World came
2.5 million Europeans 
12.5 million purloined Africans 
while 55 million Indigenes succumbed
to disease and systematic genocide.

And the land of the free ain’t.
