Escapando

I spoke to a righteous couple

From a distant land

Who crafted jewels for the hearts of man

They spoke to me with a native tongue

About foreign affairs and what’s to come

Century’s later 1555

The diaspora divided their tribe

Sent abroad

To farm the land that was robbed

Europe and Spain profited from our pain

Century’s passed

Now they say I’m Free at last

But how can I be free

 if I’m still in captivity

No more Hernando Cortez Francisco Pizarro

Now I’m labeling my sorrow

Forgetting about Clever yet horrific endeavors

That tainted my skin

To a brighter mixture of Melanin

I’m settling

Without Knowledge of self

Worshiping the green god of wealth

Until I mastered sovereignty

reaching my character with honesty

Reminding me

To righteously divide my time

In the wilderness of Americas Paradigm

Now I’m

Rendering my spiritual pass

So that actual facts last

Escapando

Taken heed

As the original seed
