This is a poem about Mexico. It experienced civil war in 1910; lasting about 10 years, taking over 1 million lives which started by peasabts- Emiliano Zapata and Pancho Villa against the dictator- Portivio Diaz (line 2); it is the largest source of immigration to the USA (line 4). Texas was a mexican province but switched to the USA in 183 (line ), introduced chocolate, corn and chilies to the world (lines 7 & 8). It is a home to a rare rabbit-volcano rabbit (line 9); Chihuahua is the world’s smallest dog (line 10); Mexico is located in the “Ring of Fire”- one of the Earth’s most violent Earthquake and volcano zones (line 11); it is mostly a catholic population (line 12)
A latino zone in the base of North America
having an injured past honourably graced by two peasants
known to be the most populated in the Spanish world
but suffers a massive exodus to his neighbor above.
He looks at Texas and says “twas once”
but has long moved on quite wonderfully,
proven by his show of corn, chilies and chocolates
which he firstly introduced to the world.
Rabbit and volcano only mix in his backyard.
The least in stature of dogs is found within his dwelling,
with his living room nicknamed “the Ring of Fire”
And its entire household held by the blessing of the cross.
