La Malinche Y El Nopal

There's 
a very 
self-loathing
Mexican girl 
in my area
who tries to 
look like me
and I saw
online today
that she is
mean to other
Mexicans too 
and wants
them to
suffer
And she
doesn't even 
have a 
good heart.

But I am not
like her
because
I do not hate
being Mexican
nor do I
hate myself,
And I think
Mexicans
are good,
noble and kind,
though she is 
poisoned rot
and her soul
seems already 
cursed.

I do not 
have any 
respeto
ni tengo fe
in someone
who votes 
against their
best interests
since they
are fools
and there is
no way for 
that to change
unless they
choose to 
look 
within.

Note: This poem is about known bigot and self-loathing Mexican-American Josceline Amaya, traitor to the Chicagoland Mexican community. If you are Mexican and you don't like yourself, please just go to therapy and fix your heart. Don't try to be like La Malinche. That is BETRAYAL. Bonus poem in Spanish, titled Nopalita, is also available on Threads and on Tumblr.
