When history came to El Chuco

10/30/2019

Picture
The forefathers of patriarchy
Whom moderated over slavery
Wrote our future with our history
Their 2nd amendment came to the Sun City
To reinforce the national hierarchy
Emboldened by American tyranny
This patriot engaged in villainy
He murdered our people callously
He is emblematic of freedom’s enemy
He is America’s classic progeny
Caucasian supremacy
The American legacy
That shaped our democracy
The only way to combat this frequent atrocity
And honor the slain in our community 
Is to rally in unity
And take back our destiny
If we ever wish to break free from the legacy of supremacy

Dedicated to lost community of the Sun City

We Were Kids

5/12/2019

0 Comments

 
A tale, a story of just the two of us,
a pair of us analogous to a lot of us

She was a product of the nuclear family 
A byproduct of the American dream 
Not perfect but completely Americana 

He was born with an identity
that doesn’t match his nationality 
A guest in the nation his ancestors built
Not perfect but completely Americana 

School days led to summer time 
Together we played for hours from sunrise 
Until the glow of the moon forced to go home
The night was a blur 
a momentary event until we could come back together 
and play and talk and exist without context 
as if we were all we needed and all we would ever have
We were kids who dreamed of being anything other than what we are 
We dreamed of living a life that wasn’t provided to us by circumstance 
We were kids 

We repeated this pattern for The foreseeable future 
Long school years and short summer breaks 
We were Just a boy and girl with no expectations just relationship
We didn’t care about the outside world 
it was just us hand in hand 
A prince and princess waiting for thier crown
Waiting for Father Time to grant us adulthood
So that they could move away and runaway with one an other
We were kids 

We were in the age discovery 
Over the top and under the skirt
the games kids play but in a teenage way
inevitably parents found out and weren’t having that shit
sent us to different schools
unfortunately we had the same teacher
professor society now wrote the lessons to our lives plans
We were kids

Society started to shape and redirect 
first it got her hands on her
it whispered to her how to dress
how to smell
how to walk
how to love
how to show some skin
how to cross her legs
and who to open them for 

next society ensnared him
it screamed to him how to fight 
how to take
how run
how to fuck
how to walk with the biggest cock
how to use a glock
and who to use it on
We were Kids


becoming what society wanted us to be
she was socialized , influenced to pursue the moderate life
have a moderate profession 
a moderate house
moderate kids
a moderate husband
moderate orgasms
moderate happiness
a life stuck in a cycle of moderation

society sentenced him to a low life
low opportunities 
low economic growth
low level housing
low accomplices 
violent low paying crime 
low chance at freedom
and a low survival rate
We were kids


What did society do to us?
we were kids !!!
a pair, just the two of us
hand in hand dreaming of when we would wear our crowns
and be together forever 
because that’s what we promised each other on those hot summer days
it was you and me no matter what life through at us 
instead of this shit we became 
unrecognizable, a carbon copy of societal expectations

She had her nuclear family
a byproduct of the American dream
a moderate life not perfect but completely Americana

His identity and nationality matched those incarcerated with him
a permanent guest in a correctional facility that his colonizers built
not perfect but completely Americana

Nature and Nurture

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. *

Pathy

4/16/2019

0 Comments

 
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

Advancing imperialism 
Diminishing native resources
Continual subjugation

Preserving dominant culture

Bodies on a Border

The desert of pain
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

El Paso

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 ​
