letters never rhyme with words,
like the moon's distant from the sun,
hissing are the bats so unheard
and pleading is no-one.
Forests burn by the mornings
and.....painted are the reds,
skulls since Racism
of hating the Indians
or the Mexicans.
Or the Latinos,
Or the blacks,
He's worse than sins
banked chips in casino
over the dearth of a river's banks.
Street-lights flickering
Until Dawn whitens.
Pebble beaches hurt the feet.
Propaganda's sunken
to ease the pain of our toes
An edge of stones we knew,
and how the searches glow
Cold are the ifs and the hows
And Barista coffee of mornings
seize a moment and lose the speech,
I stopped believing since the last chill
of an unknown of a dying will,
and now moving in the Russians....
Vodka with ice-blocks orange
I once had love,
in my child's tummy,
Sighted above,
eggs runny,
walked before the dummy...
Quake from the above
English 18th century
I once had love,
in a child's tummy,
Sighted above,
eggs runny,
bulldog scummy
I'm flying boxing gloves
as the day's now sunny.......
You can't haphazardly
destroy what is already
not fractured but broken.

April Fool’s Day
There’s still time to find jokes from think tanks
If family offers you a gift say no thanks
Not on April first
Family is the worst
Unless you’re not the brunt of all their pranks
Cinco De Mayo
Come join the fun on Cinco De Mayo
Latinos grab a bat and don’t be shy good fellow
Hang the Donald piñatas
We’ll serve up the Chiladas
Batter up, swing it hard, and aim down low

No department of Education
No anti-corruption
No health care
No unemployment benefits
No social security benefits
When you’re old enough to retire
No help for people in needs, no welfare
No grants or loans for college students
No housing vouchers for elderly parents
No rules and regulations for the Stock Markets
No lawsuits against criminal cops
Due to immunity, they can kill anybody in the streets
And there’s more, more will fall in the craps
Many people will die sooner, before their time
Believe me that will be a sad crime
If you want an unfriendly and dishonest America
Vote for the fascist and friends of the SAGA
Otherwise, vote for the intelligent Woman
Who will never insult and disrespect Asians
Native Americans, Black Americans
Caucasians, Haitians, Jamaicans
Puerto Ricans, Europeans
Human beings, Africans
Latinos and poor White Americans.

There is such a thing as self hate
Many Jews accuse each other of self hate
It is true - some Jews are filled with self loathing(including me at times)
But other people, too can hate themselves
Blacks, Latinos, Chinese and Scots
can all hate themselves
It is best NOT to hate your self
Although performers deal in this - and have made
mucho dinero out of it
I still say it is best
NOT TO HATE YOURSELF
Joy will come to you if you follow this advice

small gasps of air
escape hearts of a feather
someone lifted the ground higher
someone lowered the sky closer
because somehow the clouds seem so close
like a minute away
like I just want to raise my hand up
and snatch that cotton candy
and to my mouth to melt
and to my skin to caress
someone brought out the moon so early
in its full splendour it's there to admire
give me a hug dear moon
let me reciprocate dear moon
from the skin so smooth
to a polygamy talk so tempting
in this modern day and age
I guess you will have your man cave in the middle
of two or four huts, whatever number you choose to have
international lullaby you have mastered
from the Kenyan jewel
to the Indonesian gem
back to the America's gorgeous
and who knows, Latinos so close
small gasps of air
escapes hearts of a feather
it's so clear to see,
the today
to love without boundaries
the love of a broken heart
tries the winds from a many directions

We need to come together As one big nation,Put the hate on the shelf to stop the devastation,Do new public relations write a new proclamation, If we plan to succeed As one big nation.Come on my people lets fulfill Kings dream,Lets grow together to represent the same team,I need my Gay Latinos my Blacks and Whites, And the rest of Gods people to share the same rights,To be as one big nation and never have to fight, Language and colors are what separate each other,But if you can see past that you might find a new sister or brother, Its just Gods way of adding a little twist to all the creations that exist on his list,Did you ever think difference was part of the plan,And if the World was flat we would all share the same land,Do you ever think the human race and it being so many,And as far as getting knowledge the World has plenty,Can you ever imagine the whole World as being stress free,Can you ever imagine the whole World singing we are family,Smiling and holding hands in a circle of elation,Because that`s the only way we gone succeed As one big nation.

Walking into the La Fiesta, a group of young latinos were exiting
A short young man(little man syndrome) says "grande torro"
so I can hear and understand, it is a petty thing but it hurts deep.
Especially coming from a so and so, son of a foriegner.
It brings back another memory of the migrant farm workers who stayed next door to
my in
laws and ate stray dogs in the neighborhood. (I hope I never get that hungry)
Then there is the time that a latino family, stole my two year old's floaty at a water
park and
had the nerve to tell an officer on me for taking it back.
Lord help me to forgive and forget!!
(I don't mean to offend anyone-this was just my way of letting it go)

I been through hell.
Man I even been chain and sell.
But I stand tall because like a black person I will not fail.
I have the heart of a king and a dream that can not be kill.
But this world is fill with misery.
our people is dyeing in this modern day slavery.
Black,white,Latinos,all of my people get up and marsh with me.
Because by any means necessary brother and sister we must break free.
Please listen to me case in God's eyes we are all one family.
But why can't we stop the fighting and unite as one.
Because thats the only way this war will be won

Look.
I'm not saying your wrong
What I am sayin to your face is
YOU ARE NOT RIGHT
you're an educated racist
our children cannot inherit that
and you're angry with me now
I embarressed you
when you love our daughter
she is beautiful and latino
and suddenly, you're not true?
She is different?
You know I find it unbearable
how you emphatically stated
we should run all latinos out
you're racist comments
your very sin, not mine
but what you teached
I never agreed with
these kids, they respect you
But my sweet, intelligent, darlin man
you are a damn fool

Whose turn is it to take the stage,
In a circus of a lost & somewhat forgotten
race. Where our value in life has
diminished, we are no longer a thriving
culture living in The United States.
A people who once held their heads high,
and raised their fist together in rage
for our rights.
We have been Labeled like cans, like labeled bottles,
grouped in & labeled as Latinos, not as proud Chicanos.
I can’t act like I’m not offended and
everything’s okay.
I have to speak out, right now, here today.
I must voice how I feel and make a statement,
I need to be real in everything I say..
I must do it for my children,
so they hear Dad voice his opinion,
So someday they will do the same
for their own children.
I’m proud of who I am and as I stand here
today.
A Proud Chicano living in the United States
I raise my fist in a Chicano Rage...
