Cadillac Bar

"Mas Tacos Por Favor" As she slings her hands back and forth on the dough 
" Mas Tacos Por Favor" As she gracefully accepts the water on the dough
 "Mas Tacos Por Favor" As she gently places her fingers and kneads the dough Just Once she says her in heart..They will Know Mas Tacos Por Favor... 
Just Once they will know the hearts of hard immigrant hands and the gentle tears that stain these lands..
Just Once they will know what it is like to be told you don't look Spanish.. 
Just Once they will know what it is like to have to deceive appearances by looking as if....acculturate and assimilate 
Just Once they will be mindful of how they eat our food and laugh at our hearts.. Just Once again on the corn grinder to make the edges perfect...

Mans Search For Meaning

I met a man on a full moons night with winged tip shoes
who said spiritual freedom moves
independence of the mind under any psychic and physical stress..
shows how high are moral values decide if we are a mess...
it is by our will that we are freed to live by our ideals..
it is only our existential frustration..that makes us kneel..
The existential vacuum that says that we are so frustrated...
so how is love is the only way to the innermost being..is this overrated..?
The man with winged tip shoes did kiss..the suffering of my lips..
as if in the night of a thousand...ships...

Caged and Afraid

Caged and Afraid

Caged and Afraid
Naked and Ashamed
Dislodged and not found
 Lost but not Confound
Left as the Lonely Clown
The Lonely Clown
Not Free to Fly
Fear that I died
Hated not loved
Fought the lie
Only to loose
Tears dislodged from eyes 
 Faith and prayer not there
When I strayed
 From truth
 I lost the light
 From my mind 
 In The cell
 Bathed and cleaned
 Rolled over by the governmental machine
Spider crawl scared by the sun
Their mistake
 But my self-worth 
Turned to self hate
 Judged before ever spoken
Sentenced 
Justice 
Our commitment broken
Gone is my pride
Time as promised 
I wanted lesser
I got maximum
No  name tags
No medication
 No name
No phone 
Location on known
The deal is for life
This conception 
Of Monster caged  
Just injustice
Leaves me drained
Fear seen

America X

America X
Daughter of revolution bred spiritually physically 
Out of a war of psychic hate for freedoms lost
I don’t deserve their iron bowl
My fear My flag my American Pride
Hiding behind fronts Enemy In the enemy
Inside the friend
Rebuild A New America
From A Melting pot of death
 Our core existence vanished and obsolete
American freedom absent
I don’t deserve their iron bow
My fear my flag my American Pride
The safire red burning plane bomb 
 Buried my soul far away
 On valueless American land 
They Said
Image of a raving mad war now made
Buildings gradually burn in flames
To the ground 
Our strongest vibrant buildings 
I don’t deserve their iron bowl
 My fear my flag my American Pride
My buried soul still here exists
 The cross upon grated American Steel
Our second chance
They are burying 
And hiding behind fronts
 don’t deserve their iron bowl 
My fear  my flag my American Pride
 The enemy inside of our skin
It’s not anything we wouldn’t do
We Said
The daughter of Revolution
The day we became a melting pot of death
Our prideOur spirits 
Our heritage Our bravery Our Souls
 Don’t deserve their iron bowl
My fear…my flag my American Pride
Our Country
Careful millennials  Daughters of Revolution
Don’t succumb to paths
Were suicide, violence,  and beatings,
Of spirit stealing, saint bashing and Angels thrashing
On lands near or far
For the idea of America X 
Is life still real and visible
I don’t deserve their iron bowl
My fear my flag 
The land of American Pride
Care not want not millennium child 
Take not want not 
 Shan’t  not be not the same fate thrice
Let Us Be Brave 
Hope for Peace
