"latino" poems
White folks: pack your bags and go. Our nut-brown world is quite offended. Make your shame-faced exit NOW, And leave your mansions unattended. Wait—before you pass the doors, It's time to settle ethnic scores. No more ragtime Minstrel Show. Our Moorish Science took it down. Black lives matter. White, less so— Now move your pale face out of town . . . But first, shell out for racial shame Caucasian losers of the game. Cultural pride is ours alone: Kings and Egyptian queens we were. The glories of our race, well-known Bedazzle in a darkened blur (Clear to Africa's descendants— Puzzling to you white dependents). Blackness lent your world its light, Taught the Dutch to tend those flowers. Scandinavia grew bright Under our beneficent powers. Negroes gave your blondes their beauty; Helped those Norsemen shake their ***** The Seven Wonders of the world: We built them all. No vain conjecture Dims our banner, black, unfurled, Above eternal architecture. Arts and knowledge gained from us Are what we threaten to discuss. We invented math and science Which you robbed from Timbuktu. Swarthy wisdom's brave defiance Caused Old Europe to renew. All our treasure that you plundered Testifies: your days are numbered. Classics of our Greeks you stole: Philosophy was never yours. Shame upon your racist soul; For Bach and Mozart both were Moors. Misappropriated treasures call for ruthless hard-line measures. Latino fate falls next—but, where ? Jews, Turks, and Arabs: are you. . . white ? Orientals everywhere: Choose your side and join the fight. Blackness rising! Late the hour; Heed your call to fight the power. Crackers need to check your race— Stop rooting for that ****** clown. Rednecks all up in our face; Racist throwbacks got us down. But as your statues bite the dust Your light goes dark (you know it must). So move on out, oppressor, thief. Long have you held our nation back. In some white galaxy seek relief— But here the light itself is black. Stars are racist. So is the sun. Now let God's great black will be done.

Forgive yourself Perfect was never a word suited for you Love yourself Everything comes back to this Love your sister She has been picked apart, degraded, and has an internal war eating her from the inside out Love your brother He has a time stamp of deliverance to a life of incarceration, bullets released from an absence of sense, lack of educated, blind ambitious followers. Raise your head You are a Goddess created with disarming beauty in mind. Continue to place one foot in front of the other You are meant and strongly designed for forward movement. Take no steps back, do not bow down your head, do not close your mouth In fear that judgment will fall It will, but you must speak anyways. Your voice is imperative to the growth of lost girls who are unsure what real women are made of. Your voice is imperative to the peaking of the minds of men unsure what to look for in a Queen, show him. Your voice is imperative to the readjustment of the image of Black Women with large voices Black Women with high diction Black Women with love language Black Women with literary genius Black Women filled with nothing less than the peace & love God has manifested within us. Black Women Black Women Black Women Who love Black men like double chocolate moist bliss Who love White men like dark roast coffee filled with cream Who love Latino men like Butterscotch candy dipped in chocolate The list goes on Black Women who love like we are bound to implode if we don't give the universe what it is that we need back. Black Women Your Mother Black Women Your Sister Black Women Your Friend Black Women Your Lover Black Woman Love Her.

Do you know the meaning of "stop and frisk"? I'm sorry black brother, you do. Have you ever had to change your voice in order to get a job? I'm sorry black sister, you have. Have you ever had to remove your hijab because you needed to take a flight? I'm sorry brown girl, you have. Has anyone ever insisted you have extensive knowledge on every school subject? I'm sorry yellow friend, someone has. Have you ever been told to go back to your country, despite the fact that you're already there? I'm sorry red man, you have. Have you ever been called and illegal immigrant, but you were born in the u.s? I'm sorry Latino friend, you have. Have you ever been told that racism doesn't exist and, by someone with pale skin? I know I have. So this is to the ones who have been told that they "aren't black enough" because they use proper grammar and their pants don't sag. The brown boys with beards that get called "towel heads" To the Asian kids that are just as smart as the next guy. To the native Americans that still get called Indians. To the brown girls that get told that they don't have to wear their scarves because "we're in America"

When colored becomes criminal.
"Hey, Charles! I won't be back." His friend yells out before Continuing to eat the face off Of the young Latino he had met. "Ok! I guess I can get home.. Somehow..." He mumbles to himself, signaling to the Bartender that he wanted to order Something off menu. He pays no attention to the trans Woman who sits down beside him. "I'll have a watermelon sangria, please." he requests softly, but confidently. The lady by him chuckles, "Watermelon? That's odd." Her voice is rich with flavor, And humor. "It is odd. But so am I." He mumbles. "It seems that way, doesn't it? Well, at least now I can call you Melon Rather than ask your name!" "A rather odd nickname for an odd person." And so their conversation continued. It became all the more lively once 'Melon' had had a couple rounds. Both drunk and desperate, they Kiss passionately in the gay bar, Paying no heed to the others Yelling "Get a room!" Roaming hands. Stumbling up stairs. Drunken giggles. Broken speech. "You're so beautiful." He whispers. Skin against skin, Burning hot,   Both mad with desire. Panting. Groaning. Moaning. Ecstasy. It's late at night. They manage to call A taxi, and go home. Home to Melon's apartment. The next morning was spent Drinking ****** Mary's and Making an account of what Happened the night before. That, and more *** Hot, ****** *** Passionate, lively And loving *** Charles sits up in his bed. He feels something sticky. "Oh, that's disgusting!" ****** *** indeed. He stands up to clean himself Off in the bathroom, but he Hears the shower running. "Did I get laid last night?" He peeps into the shower And sees the woman from His dream. "Eva?" He asks. "Who else would it be?" "Why are you in my apartment?" Charles exclaims. Eva turns and Raises an eyebrow at him. "I live here, Melon." "Since when? We hooked Up just last night!" "Darlin', we've been married for 4 years!"

The white man leaves his house Some white women leave theirs The rest wear spandex and push stroller The Latino man comes To build houses to paint houses The Asian man comes To build houses to paint houses The Latina women comes To take care of the kids Some Asian men and women Work in the laundry mat The rest of the businesses Owned by white people The white man comes back Some white women come back And everyone else leaves

Cabaret Show (Shall we dance ?)
A gaggle of glamour girls, Debutantes of Times gone by. With talk of Aruba, White Sands and clear blue waters, Spoken to inspire jealousy to all those around. And of organization, Motherhood and label makers, Construction of pigeon holes for every part of life. And the Latino Girl at work, Whispers of the lasciviousness of a life unknown, In the silliness of two glasses of white wine each. I smoke a barrier between them and me. In an effusive hurried rush they leave, In search of sustenance of the soul, In search of Sisterhood. I sit in a Dewar’s drought. She walks by and grazes her fingertips across my back, A touch of familiarity, A touch that I long for. Gently, I speak, Within this microcosm, You stand as Aphrodite. Smiling, she goes about her work. I return the appreciation, The warmth of bad bourbon, Exuding from my pores. Cause I sit in a Dewar’s drought. They sit down in the virility of youth, Testosterone tilted hats, Speaking the language of Poser Street, In the melody of white noise. Showcasing the uniforms of a self-created culture. I turn and tune them out.

Gentle Aphrodite
Take my hand - you've got to feel fun time's heading closer Futuristic daydreams are at hand -handy! microchipped wild boys and girls on rent - hardly paid off - dance! Roll the dice! Flicker eyes! Adrift on the dimlit flourescent effervescent reflector rays°°°°you're never lost or at loss; Coloured circles glide across the dancefloor______ bouncy boots swoon, high heels crack, remastered barefoot Tribe~ Enjoys momentary revelations! Latino lovers attracting honey dew magnetic more-s rain coats off - smiley coasts shine on~ those cunning shenanigan freckles pressed redhair beauties against needy torsos in ecco-leather jackets   electrified silhouettes stunning like elves un-fading beauty   transforming tuxedos of a tight night; a jingle of Prague crystals into one dancing wave submerged by the vicinity of hissing tongues   -been- beaten by fierce kissing in a stronghold ballroom frenzy - polarized beatings - hi-s and bye-s ; a stroboscopic syncopation ecstatic hips,   space shuttle trips

Let us Boost "The Ballroom"
Where do we belong?Where did we go wrong? Weren't Our emotions deep enough, to make us stay? I look back in yesterday,I swear,Can still hear you play, a latino boy,playing his guitar,singing a love song, to a brown eyed girl,born in the month of May Our candle blaze no light,Our flame has slowly died, No more stars to watch,No sweet kisses in the night, Our ardent river of fervent dreams has dried, No cheek to cheek,No smiles to greet,We left it  all, You are not here,I am not there,We are forever gone Where do we belong?Where did we go wrong? Weren't our emotions deep enough,to make us stay? I look back in yesterday,I swear, Can still hear you play, a latino boy,playing his guitar,singing a love song, to a brown eyed girl,born in the month of May   Happy Promises  buried in grains,we won't see face to face,    Can't hear your voice,Silence echoe  in cold and distant caves, Two hearts carried  away,by desperate  tides and savage waves. Soft whispers whirled in strong  winds, not knowing where to blow, I'm yours,You're mine,have sunk in space and time of letting go. Where do we belong?Where did we go wrong? Werent Our emotions deep enough to make us stay? I look back in yesterday,I swear,Can still hear you play, a latino boy,playing his guitar, singing a love song, to a brown eyed girl,born in the month of May.

Where are We?
"Hola mi amigo" That is how they greed us in the states, but don't blame them, because we are the Latino's lost twin Next time don't let them judge the book by it's cover tell them that within the book it reads: *we are pohnpei the garden island in the pacific on the map we are midnight stars in broad daylight, but through the lens of a telescope one shall be blinded by our beauty for we are sweet harmonies of birds singing before sunrise, and sweet perfumes of island flora pouring through your nostrils we are reflection of sunsets stretching out into the open sea glittering, like diamonds beneath the sunlight we are children in Christmas crowding along the roads clutching onto plastic bags waiting joyfully for Santa to ride into town and rain candies on them we are dusty old tires diving and splashing into muddy pool *** holes on a paved road we are coconut milk leaking through the valley of ten fingers wedded in a shape of a ball and pouring onto breadfruits we are wooden hulls of canoes smashing through the waves like a bull through a red cape we are grandmothers telling ancient local tales to her kids and fathers showing his sons how to become island men we are the powerful kava repeatedly pounded on a flat stone forming a liquid brown as a chocolate milk and when one drinks the world suddenly becomes a quiet peaceful place we are pig meats heated beneath flaming rocks covered with banana leaves we are proud and peaceful we bow to show respect towards one another, visitors and their highness we have five kings and we are one our home abounds with mysteries but we see what is behind the cover some of us have left to pursue their curiosities but we will always be one and when the rain falls on a sunny day we understand that one of us is at peace we don't have any museums but we see our history through Nan Madol we don't have any towers but we see our lands from towering mountains and we have seen them burnt to ashes, but we survived, and we never left*...

Not Quite
The lock on my mouth tightens My ears turn red Like the tied knots in my stomach All the dripping sweat… The hard work goes to waste Fear stares me in the face How I dread that bitter taste All I hear is that **** beating Questions and Questions Mexican? American? Hispanic? Chicano? Latino? I say neither The lock on my mouth tightens Insecurities and bruises underneath my skin You’re not good enough or smart enough Stop trying, there’s no such thing as luck So buckle up This road I take isn’t easy I see yellow, brown, and black But I don’t forget the clouds above are White It’s time for change I say Course after course Finding pieces to my key My consciousness now aware I’m brilliant Now I begin to believe and see The lock on my mouth opens I can finally hear my voice breathe I say “It’s interesting you feel that way” Now it’s my turn to speak.

Hear my voice
Green giants swaying to a calypso melody     Cuban guitars nuance the springtime scenery     Beautiful Wisteria dancers and Dogwood musicians               Latino songbirds delivering ambitious acapella dreamscapes  ..    Caribbean percussive timbre in pitch perfect three point harmony ..

Be proud to be white. Be proud to be black. Be proud to be Latino. Not to the point you called a racist. That's not truly what proudness is about. Be proud to be Italians, German, really any nationality. Except not to the point of being called a bigot. That defeats the purpose of what proud is about? It's not about a flag waving to create a disturbance. Or pump fist with bad intention even if you're claiming it represent being united. Be proud to be, whatever? As long as it's serving a principle in life.

Be Proud
Reading and researching about fiction and facts. You try to clear up our racist past. When a black walked into a eating establishment to eat. You ponder and wonder about those racists wrath. What about the skin of a person that makes fools reacts? Or those that intimidated not stand up to wrong. When we remain quiet we gives stupidity a home. Then you ponder and wonder about the bigots. Maybe, they wasn't afraid of the blacks. But afraid of their own. Many racists don't truly have a happy home. When a Latino illegally or legally comes to America. Who really believes they taking anyone job? Many are working hard at jobs that hard working Americans avoid. We must address our inner self. For within our hearts lies an answer. We all see things from a different view. When judgment day comes. And you must be held accountable before God. And He ask you what wrong did you do? Will you be truthful without offering an excuse? Yes, you can reform your love for the people you hate. But God requires us to do before we standing at the gate. Cause, standing before Him now. Just might be a little late. But we are dealing with the human nature of the flesh. And that alone create most of our trouble.

i stand with my sisters -- hijab-wearing, undocumented black, brown, beautiful, brilliant; women who love women; women who have the right to answer to their names, instead of a “sugar” or “honey” or “baby” yelled by a stranger on a street corner; terrific trans women; women, who must have the right to decide what should happen to their own bodies i stand with my brothers -- men who love men and men who are afraid to say that they do; Muslim men, Latino men, feminist men, trans men; and those who are neither men or women, non-binary friends of all shapes and sizes and colors and creeds; every person who has never felt like they belonged and i stand with my people -- the people of America. we know deep in our hearts that hate is not the answer; and so we march on and fight on and force our voices out into the universe and it is not futile, it is not for nothing, it will never be for nothing. for those who believe to love is the most important thing we'll ever do: i stand with you.

“Immigrant” has somehow become a bad word. When to me immigrants are the people who fight to be heard. They are the people who are ignored, The people who work hard without reward. They’re not back until after dusk and leave the house before dawn, They’re not just the people who mow your lawn. People will discriminate, But I’m proud of from where I originate. With rich culture that in which the word “ashame” does not exist. In this so called “country of the free” we will resist. We will join with others to make our bruises known For we won’t stay quiet while being disowned

Music fills her soul as different melodies capture her moods who hasn't yearned for that country somebody did somebody wrong song or just feeling crazy or want to jazz it up with a little of the Latino explosion visiting Birdland when all else fails dancing the night away to Donna saving that last dance for someone special chilling to the smooth blues' riff as Michael Grimm crones how you don't know him every now and then when the mood is right moonlight sonata calls and romance and roses win the night who can resist when a gal's in the mood or sitting before a campfire signing of the harvest moon sometimes a body just feels lost looking for a way to get "closer to god and f#@*%ing like an animal to feel alive or banging it out to AC/DC beebooping to Madonna or Lady Gaga, or justifying that bad love trying to convince yourself that you like the way he lies maybe relaxing and using your imagination while you talk about stupid girls and all that garbage listening to the B52s and doing the rock lobster

Music Fills Her Soul
After a good workout, when I'm hot and sweaty, I want you more than any other time. I want to taste you. You're so fresh. Others know you, but not like I. I love your wraps that surround you. That surround the flesh. I'm drooling. Let them stare. You're there for me whenever I crave you. When I desire you. And I go to you sometimes even when I don't. And that happy latino dance music you like to play makes me want to dance. But most of the time I just want you naked. All laid out in front of me. “Have a bowl,” you say. “I just want you in my hands, right now.” I say back. You always make me thirst with your hotness, I drink water. After class, before class, sometimes I think about you during class. “I want you in my hands,” I say again. “No really, have a bowl,” you say again. I give in and I take a bowl. Then, I begin to devour you with passion. Moaning and giggling. Our bodies become one as I begin to breath heavier and heavier. I being twitching in pleasure when suddenly I feel a tap on my shoulder. “Sir, you're going to have to leave Chipotle.”
