When I hear FEMINISM, RACISM, SEXISM, IMMIGRATION
or the TORTURE OF A NATION,
my mind cries
and my eyes go blank.

Children ****** waving to their teacher
Their teacher waving back
A grenade is launched
and chunks of her pained memory soar through the windows of the bus.
War just won't stop.

In the Internet,
White-washed Latinos diss their mother's birth
throw stones at their father's graves.
Praise Uncle Sam
Although Caucasians are abusing them because of their skin pigmentation
Oh great U.S.A.
Who incarcerated Madiba and murdered MLK.
Killed more humans than Adolf and now want to buy them.
With a small piece of useless land in New Mexico and Kentucky Fried Chicken.

You PATHETIC CHICKEN
who wants to own the world even though you haven't been here one stinkin millennium.
A decade of power and now you patrol the streets.
please

You can't even patrol your own streets

please
"Medium" sized button-up
Tommy Hilfiger fits me big
As if it were an extra large
I don't mind
            I like it.

Green.
Darker than grass
Completely green, painted by an
Indigenous craftsman
From New Mexico
The Apache,

My Fathers.

They painted red flowers.

With orange stars in the middle,
Scattered randomly
        Perfectly
Throughout the long sleeve button-up Hilfiger

The pattern: Strange looking
Orange flowers
                        Geometric
                       ­ I wear it
                        'Cause it reminds me of her.
IF I AM TO CREATE SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL, LET IT BE THIS.
P L E A. "(SE)ñor Dios Tododestrusoso, te lo suplicó. Haz me el favor y salvamé una vez mas. Amen."
Do you believe in aliens?
We live among you.
We are here to stay and live life like you do.
Fulfill the American Dream
Our parents dreams.

Our parents sweat hasn't come with any earnings.
They toil and toil from dawn to dawn
Just to put food on the table.
But its a fable.
Because they pay the bills and waste money on gas,
there is no room for new shoes, sweaters or iPads.

Illegal we work for cheap labor
Equality has put our freedom under the table.
(because there is none)
Ignorant and lied upon
Politics are the same.
Reading fake literature to make me a little less insane.

America hasn't progressed because of immigration.
Pass the laws, make things happen,
It's our only medication.  
Let us fortify this melting ***
and help the kids help their parents
who have sweated blood.
Just for a little sensation..
You stay there and i'll stay here
we dont even want you to get near
block off the front and the rear
make sure no entry is clear

put a fence around our own land
make all other nations banned
shoot to **** so they understand
our walls must never expand

i'll stay here and you stay there
there's just no more room to spare
dont even try to breathe our air
we stole this land fair and square
==========================
Monorhyme

So much talk about immigration
causing fear and frustration
are we fair in our filtration?
while we let the rich vacation

humanity is lost in translation
causing a hateful sensation
just looking for some salvation
leading to their migration

some are looking for vocation
a better life is their fixation
then they meet our damnation
no admittance to this location

sometimes you're like homework
so confusing
and i just stare at you
absent-mindedly
hating you
yet you're important to me
it's so hard to finish you
and i lose inspiration every now and then
but when i get high as my grades
i come running back to you

i can't wait to graduate from school
get rid of this infatuation
we would be adults by then
and hopefully this mess will be sorted out

Love
I'm the *****,
the quiet girl in the front of the class,
according to the handicap stall in the upstairs boys bathroom, a ****.
I love, and when I do I love to no ends.
But you'd never know how much this ***** loves, because there is no love shown.
I never knew my father. It was always my mom and me alone. Where i came to realize it was two against the world. But truth be told now i have a stepfather but its not the same i dont call him dad how can a person abandon thier own child, thier own blood they say blood is thicker than water but **** didnt mean anything to my so called father. So as i stand i ask why didnt he want me? Did i do something bad? I stand here looking at my own reflection and i see my father i am his mirror and i despise that i look like the man that hurt my mother but no matter my mother has and always be my father cuz she taught me how to be a man and treat a woman.
