Nana Buluku I am your lost child and I have returned
I have been away in a hostile land Slowly watching it fall into Decay They do not follow the natural order of life instead they seek to manipulate, dominate, dictate They put constrictions on on their constituents they strip the inhabitants of individuality They disobey, The moon and the sun They follow that which is created by falsehoods rather than what is They value self-preservation over life They attempt to comprehend the cosmos in a vain attempt to guarantee eternity They assign error and fault to that which they do not understand. What they lack in knowledge, they fear rather than explore There continual existence is parasitic as eventually they will overcome the host I ask you Nana Buluku how long must they wait until you intervene? *My child your energy has been away too long worry not for which you cannot effect. Do not perplex yourself with the cunundrum rather embrace what is. *

We lack the empathy
To show others sympathy We capitalize on them financially We limit their academic mobility We condemn them to worship our dogma When they resist we subject them to trauma We glorify social political contradictions Love, equality nothing is free from our mandated restrictions The oppression is systematic The way we treat perceived others is pathetic and often problematic Simply because We lack the empathy to show others sympathy I hate what you represent
Sick of you trying to subjugate Tired of being used Singled out constantly abused Your celebrated episteme I intrude My words shouldn't be misconstrued Unfortunately for you Your reign over me is through You persecute my gender, my race, my sexuality You try infect me with your hegemonic reality Force feed your customs over my traditions When its convenient you play the victim I am sic of your fucking contradictions Your celebrated episteme I intrude My words shouldn't be misconstrued Unfortunately for you Your reign over me is through When pop culture allows it you become apathetic I think your fucking pathetic Selfish, inconsiderate abusers Hypocrites you have shitty constituency because you’re users Your celebrated episteme I intrude My words shouldn't be misconstrued Unfortunately for you Your reign over me is through New lands

All lives lost in vain Corruption is the name of the game Not one party solely to blame Who is bought? Who is sold? Greed spreads through the desert like mold Mothers, daughters, sisters raped and killed Not to worry big business will pick up the bill Patriarchy is the rule of the hierarchy What a hypocrisy or a copy off of American democracy The sun will set the moon will rise Female bodies will surface with no evidence a by product of all the lies If the sand could talk the stories it would tell The perpetrators would be caught, brought to their knees and sentenced to hell Over 400 women have been found The police, government are to busy washing the ground Bodies on a border The united states don’t care about this order Uncle Sam has nothing to gain This isn’t Iraq no Oil Rain! The families of the victims to poor to mount an opposition The PRI, the law and the Factories rape the community into submission Therefore WOMEN of all ages keep DYING Those in charge keep hiding To the female victims of yesterday and tomorrow may La virgen watch over your Souls. And to the perpetrators of these horrific crimes may the Sun BURN a hole in yours For your death will be your judgment day Bodies on a Border HOW MANY MORE MUST LAY! Dedicated to the 400+ women who have been murdered in La Ciudad Juarez. May you rest in peace. And to the families of the victims may one day will you be reunited with your Sisters, Aunts, Daughters, Grand Mothers and Mothers Rising from the borderlands
I found my identity Yo soy Joaquin the Pocho mentality No de aqui no de alla A dónde vamos Ven conmigo Ya se encontrado Aztlan Anzaldua led me there it is a space through the Paso To a bridge called my back Aztlan es para ti You can decolonize Subir to greater conscious To get over this mythology Taught by this democracy Capitalism is the masterminds manifest Aztlan is the destiny of the oppressed Escuchar my pedagogy as I invoke the teachings of X by any means necessary Not a call to violence But to education over false idols and forced silence Uniting the States Putting an end to class, race and gender based economy Systemic oppression and inequality Providing voices to the victims of silence Gritando I love my myself and thy neighbor Porque tu eres mi otro yo Y si yo hago daño a ti yo me hago daño a mi Eso es Aztlan y Para llegar we must collectively journey through El Paso El Paso to a greater mind |
