Boriqua

I'm a Hispanic because that's what I'm branded... I'm not a race I'm but a culture... I'm but a mixture conquered by vultures... I'm these urban streets that flow within me... I'm from an island that I rarely see... I'm born and bred a natural survivor... I'm not a color for that's a divider... I'm but a being spirit real strong... I'm but a mixture African, Indian, White... I'm but a person blessed with true sight ... I'm but a warrior prepared for a fight... I'm but a culture my race is all mixed... Spaniards on a quest that came over on ships... I'm but of mixed slaughtered beautiful races... Embedded with this language from foreign places ... I Speak a language that came from blood shed... The Indian and African in me will never be dead... I'm a loud voice a candle that burns... I'm but a sponge that absorbs as I learn... I'm but a culture a bunch of lost tribes... I am what I am till the day I die...
