be on point at the parade gente

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
