The Papers-Los Papeles
Papeles pa’ que los quiero
Si tengo mente pa’ pensar
I think therefore i resist
My humanity is not made of plastic, ink, paper or congress
It’s made of flesh, soul, sangre
Who will be a citizen?
Silent tongues, grateful bowed heads, patient hands, traumatized spirits, beaten souls, tired eyes, tinted dollar bills, recycled cans, college degrees. Corporate dreams.
Who will you have to become now?
How many more masks should you wear?
Where will you leave your soul at night? Before the sun shines and you go off to Corporate America, soulless and blind.
Will you also be genetically modified? Layered, self censoring resistance thoughts… who will you be? Who will you have to be now?
