Inocente fue La Vida en su Desenredo : Latinos We keeping it Together

As if we were always temporary
occupants of their reality.  We
are the ones keeping it All Together.
We're in Deep and everyone knows It's true.
We are Civil, Proud, and of Servicio,
Su Servidor a la Gracia Social.
Cuz ya know we gotta Admit our Lives
are Rather Stressful and Non-Stop Vigilance
of keeping Meaning for America.
Yet, we're not Confused. We know who we are.
We have a strong Residual Nostalgia
for our Alternate Worlds, our Campo, pueblo
Ciudad, playa. Sierra, monte, lago,
Fuente, que Rica es Nuestra Sociedad
pero corre Sangre por las  Calles.
De repente se Pierden a los Siglos
...que que Inocente fue La Vida
en su Desenredo la violaron
qual verdad su Madre tuvo que
Aceptar, pero que la Regresen
a su hija Persephonia por
lo menos por Una Temporada
y al Regresar al Infierno Norte
Unica Salida a otra Miseria
y donde seTendra que Batallar
a Entrar. Cenicienta Cenicienta.

We Must Remember How to be Humane (again)

Francisco and I went out to the Church

to register Voters Yesterday.

Yeah Latinos can be  Republican

if they Choose. Mercy, Help Us when they Do.

The Priest quoted Karl Marx and Richard

Hugo.  The heat was over 100.

It was a Miracle I didn’t Fall Over

and the Children were playing with Ants, yes

the children were playing with Ants. The Plight

of our People…they are Your People Too!

For these are our Workers and they bring You

Food, Business, Education, Humor, Love,

Kindness, Presence, and Comprehension. Which

Is Why I’m Telling You:  Anyone There?

We need to learn how to be HUMan agAiN.
