Isla frita
How do you process privilege
Sacrifices from ancestors made on your
better behalf
Be whole
Laugh dance sing dream in whatever
order you allow
Don’t suffer generational
consequences
Because everything is out of service
Due to illuminati invasion anniversary
of
An island 135 million years old emerged
from
Angry ocean
Earth is 15 billion years old
Me I’m 33 Babita been blessed with 91
years
Infinitesimal speck on the canvas of
multiverses
What are the partisan politics of
quasars in another galaxy
Challenge to stay optimistic when rain
on sunny days
Has you conflicted every detail of your
pain
Can be specifically traced to DNA
dancing
Drama down dark alleys of varicose
veins
Rarely seeing victory
Let sunlight part the fog on your
history
No longer typically victim statistic
Population pacified red tierra will
testify
Bloodshed en busqueda de libertad
To do what you absolutely please
Don’t be apathetic or apologetic
Aggressive in search of destiny
Using best mental weaponry
Affirming path in poet’s passage
With eyes closed take a shot
Speak life into reality
Make your dreams actions
Wise ninja said
We need to show the youth
Our freedom fighters bloody scars
Lion king said
The stars will always guide you
Never leave you alone
You will forever have a home
Where coquis sings to concrete
Across 4 hour flights in business class
Whenever you land
Hear our hands clapping like claves
Bats welcome you to distant caves
Where your runaway slave great great
Great grand uncles carried their
visions in bundles
Looking for holy shelter sanctuary
Hearts were the only actuaries
Turned legacy to stone cobbled roads
Breaking silence
So you could figure your path
Amidst city static
Climax to your lack of progression
Heavy depression
Will make your shoulders slouch
Oppression so numbing
You barely say ouch when bitten
Please take prescription and bounce
Purchase a light cebolla to flip into
foundation
We can firmly stand upon
Our beauty is beyond condemned blocks
Puercos watch and envy to rob happiness
Want to use sadness as fuel to a greasy
system
Pipeline from gutter ghetto to
powerless prison
Of mind believing no one will listen
But we still hear your gritos loud and
clear
Severe condition critical
Transform your spiritual to lyrical
Manifest miracles to resurrect
movements
No longer losing
Your confusion isn’t exclusive
Mentality molded through umbilical
Poverty cyclical
No need for telescopes to encounter
lack of hope
Down to miniscule molecules
Won’t learn this liberation inside
schools
Designed to damage
Ability for proper analysis of compound
fracture
Bones bursting through skin
Sin makes you pop you own brother
False thuggery uttered like pan con
butter
Moments of strength never stutter
Deep within lies true conviction
Give yourself permission to shine
Eyes reflection of radioactive sun
Toca significant drums
Summon people to paradise plaza
Hay que mejorar la raza
Pero no con porqueria
Advertisements on every building
Overtly urging you to consume
capitalism
As your cacique
Money is your GOD
Every cent is your santo
Referring to dollars as dona
Manana convinced that exile to rotten
manzana
Won’t make you a sangana
Mira muchacho
De que tu hablas
Nunca blah blah o tonteria
Hay que ser humilde e inteligente
To see who is real enemy trying to
hustle you
From not loving the mirror
Whenever the horizon is clearer
Calm before paranormal tormenta
Make our beautiful gente into invisible
ghosts
Gone
Statues for sunburned tourists to drive
by
Take pictures and stare
Lost footnotes at bottom of pages never
read
Fed enough YUM brand fast food
Children will be malnourished in
perpetuity
Cruise choppy waters tirando bombas
New world order bequeathing
civilization
Savage society impatiently waiting for
Status quo sandwish mallorca bread
Lovely land with lack of liberty
Class stratification gives you no
symmetry
Until you in cemetery and every
tombstone
Looks the exact same
Gamble away all your ganas
Sell out all your panas
Tomorrow can’t be more lame luxury
Corporate resorts sell you jibaro
nostalgia
Illegibly infiltrated from inception
Hear this motivational message after
Medalla
Chasing Don Q
Pushing you pa’lante nunca patras
Mis palabras de boca will travel to
Dios’ ears
Learn the lessons to break out of
colonial cage
Todos somos Boricuas de pura sepa
Albizu Lolita Filiberto Piri Pedro Miky
Machetero reinvented with rage
Before I wrote this on a blank page
Took it to stage
Coquis hyped me up
Told me sigue cantando
Siempre con corazon LORD
BE BRAVE
