Trans-latinas Poecias De Resistencia
Julio Cesar Perez Reyes
My Ancestors Cried
My Ancestors Cried
We went from creating art for survival,
to selling our art and culture to survive
sold and bought by the colonizers at a museums, art galleries.
While some of my people eat cheese and wine,
we get bought and sold creating genocide
Our Ancestors said art is done by the people
for the people not for rich colonizers
But we lost our way our culture, our art, our self

English follows...
Tierra Robada,
Nunca debuelta,
Boronas tiradas, ya no me cae,
Generaciones construyendo planes,
Intercambio por manos llenas de codicia.
Es todo de robar,
Gringos supremacistas siempre
Sin respetar,
Dejando nos sin,
Afuera y siembre sospechosos
Listos para las mentiras de los ricos,
No Thanks to The Man!
No thanx to the man
on this day
a lie crafted by uncle sam
no thx to the myths of
supposed pilgrims gifts
no thx to the killin
caused by so many under the lie of thx giving
No - the thx i have
is the thx for the land,
for creator-
our ancestors,
our corazons
our love....
So i have a new list-
not defined by pilgrims myths
coming from our collective lips
the thx i have is for the spirit of uncle al, mama dee
El Machete
El Machete
From sun up to sun down.. 365 days with machete in hand
cutting or chopping the harvest to live another day..
to live for my family.. for my love.. for my children.. with humanity
what the system did
what the system did
to me now a grown man treated as a kid
pulling me inside steady trying to get rid
forcing me in court to pay to see my kid
burnt my history soup, forgot about the lid
what the system's doing
