Tupac'N Puerto Rican
Written By: D. Collins 5/22/24 My Boom-Box played this beautiful collab. Two blood brothers rapping like we never had. Talent is talent, and it ain't my fault.

The leader on the primo* drum Explained about their style And the only female taught a dance; In just a little while… We visitors all left our seats And, following her moves, We all (including little kids) Soon found our special grooves. Though I,...

Horn Puerto Rico Haiku
Horn Puerto Rico Haiku All over Puerto Rico exists everywhere, People who need our comfort and care; Worry and fear, There and here; All they do have is sadness and despair. Need things so their problem to be solved; American military must become involved; Them will greet; Not suffer defeat; With their efforts problems are resolved. People in Puerto Rico are literally dying, And caring for children...

Faces smiling, nodding politely At words they don't seem To understand, Show me pictures, Showing the richness of A faraway distant land, Multicoloured motor cars, Brown apartments Rising high in Puerto Rican skies....
