How utterly captivating, this action.
Entrapping a simple mortal.
With such magnanimous force of attraction.
Shedding tears, sitting upon this log.
Approach me dear princess.
Please come kiss this frog.
In my chest a pump, palpitating!
Driving fever through my veins.
Like a wild horse, erratically racing!
An untamed emotion, poisons me thus.
Assaults my body, its venomous thrill.
Invisible it executes its control. Results obvious!
Like a crazy ant, driven
By a parasitic fungus.
To the highest point on the blade of grass he’s ridden.
So I roam the highway of my feelings.
Devastated still I drive.
As though with the devil I do my dealings.

Your cattle eat my grass. Whilst mine starve and die. Consider yourself the upper cast. Whilst I in the mire lie. “History will absolve me” Controlling my nations produce. Exporting its wheat and rye. My meal has no nutritional use. Yet to my face you lie. “History will absolve me” Your daughters, princesses. Mine, are prostitutes. Your daughters, sleep in castle recesses. Mine, roam the streets with brutes. “History will absolve me” You spend your summers at the beaches. Me? In the cane fields, a vagabond! You, eating me and my children, leeches! Though we never entered a pond! “History will absolve me” Abuela cannot afford cataract surgery. Corruption is the authority’s mission. Will you politicians ever get arrested for perjury? As seen by the clairvoyant in her visions! “History will absolve me” Your police laugh at my dying sons. I can still hear their dreadful cries. Each morning at the rising sun. I see dead bodies laden with flies. “History will absolve me” Shall I not want for better? Does my ambition not overflow inside? Is it not why I’m called ‘go getter’? Or do I simply sit and wait by the wayside? “History will absolve me” Is it not natural, legal even? That a man should fight to save his self, His family, his nation? Condemn me! It matters not! “History will absolve me”
