Malay, Chinese, Spanish, American, Japanese While in my bones sleep quietly as a bride Vanquished desires of conquerors who dreamt of empires, Gold, trade and spice. Though a paly breed I stand with the ancients for my love and loyalty Are as fish to the sea. I am proud of my brownness, My duty and destiny are thirty-million brown men Planting rice, husking coconut, throwing nets far into the Pacific Hacking mountains of iron, coal, chrome, manganese and timber To live. We are one and the same. A moving, restless caravan Of dark brown skins building a holy heritage of democracy Piece by piece with our dreams, sweat and death As a bird builds patiently twig by twig The warm, brown circle of its nest.
