Soy de la Dictadura Idioma de Amor y Poesia y Paz,

Soy de la Dictadura Idioma
de Amor y Poesia y Paz,
ande mija comete tu Pan,
te lo traje de Juarez y la
medicina tambien pa' tu
Mami, hagale caso, cuidala
mucho a tu Mama. Ay, Pureza
sonsorante, mi Sangre, mi
Ser y los Ojos de mi Madre
que me abrieron al Mundo entero
aunque soy nada mas Media
India, me tengo que Aceptar
como soy, me nombraron
por mi Abuela Maestra,
una Anglo Sajona que a mi Padre
lo crio en Canto al Poesia
y de la Epoca, no como
esta Palabra hecha en Llamas.
Cada dia me quemo en hablarla.
Le corto las ramas y vuelven
a Nacer las Flores de memoria
y por alli va esta cancion
el regreso es un Condeno,
una cadena enredada en la
Paz del Cerebro. Unica
Palabra, te Calmaras
si te doy toda mi existencia?

The Beauty of Sorrow is a Savage song.

The rhyme it isn’t working, the lines are long
or  short. I promise to improve them but
I must also have my say (Doc Williams please
Come help me, Mr. Grouch, don’t worry
I won’t judge you worse than I).  Yes, America
Is beautiful we know that that is true,
And yes every Lovely woman has her enemies,
Mostly she selects herself as her own Adversary.
But let me say this, settle down, America,
Yes you are the Fairest of them All, but can’t you
Stop and slow things down.  Must you rush
To batter innocence with which you fell in love?
The Beauty of sorrow is a savage song
sung from the Cinders of a lyre in flame.
