MY BLOOD

I am the Native American who surveyed this ancient valley,
I am the Spanish Conquistador who brought about his fall.

I am the Irish freedom fighter sick of King and Empire,
I am the English patriot who'd show that mick his station.

I am the German Aryan promised glory for the righteous,
I am the Slav his tank ran over reaching for my gun.

    No idea. It's not something Brits seem particularly bothered about. My Dad was adopted but possibly Scottish roots somewhere. My Mum's family were just plain English folks as far as I know, apart from a great grandfather I believe, who was apparently Italian. That's all I know.
