True Colors

A proud Borinquen
does not truly care
if you judge us
Nor will we find joy
in catering to 
the tragic whims 
of the bigots
Who ignore us
and deplete us
For the sake of
helping their own
and hurting others
who don't look 
like them
Just because
they think 
we're unworthy
when -- in truth
We were here first
and will forever be
worthy of what 
was always ours.

*Written in honor of Puerto Rican Pride Month, inspired by the work of famed Puerto Rican poet Sandra Maria Estevez. Peace be with everyone reading these words.
