What literary devices are in this poem? What type of poem is it?

Tell me

Where is it written

In this oral tradition

What what I create

Is subject to such dictations

Lorded over by some sort

Of ethno-eccentrics

That says because you are brown

You must paint nothing but eagles

And sing nothing but powwow

And write nothing but how good

It is to be Native

And how badly we were treated

By the government and churches

And how tasty bannock is

Which isn't even Native

And even why I have to proclaim

My genetic life story

Why does this scene

Want my treaty card to precede me?

Why am I evil

If I say I don't want to?

Why can't I be me

Who just happens to be Cree?

Why can't my style stand apart

From all this souvenir-stand art?

I do not hate what I am

I just don't live by sweetgrass plans

I am not brown and acting black

I don't watch Tribal Trails or scream at you

To give our land back

I am what I am

First and above all

In this life of mine

Being brown is an afterthought
