Turn on the television. See in the news
My Brown brothers and sisters are singing the blues.
California smoke and flames has a story to tell.
The brown are fighting trying not to be deported to hell.
Being rejected from the homeland which they stand.
Persecuted because they immigrated to stolen land.
Land that was trespassed on and even taken in stacks.
Now it’s leaders fear the day that it will be taken back.
I guess men, women and kids get sacrificed in the fire.
All so the whore of Babylon can maintain its empire.
We say it’s the law, but do we really respect it?
No wayward refugee should ever be rejected, only protected.
Protest and anarchy are the default solution against corrupt institutions.
It starts here. La revolucíon is here. There is a new revolution.

It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).

This is a sad time. Great poem highlighting the events going on. Many choose to turn a blind eye to it. But we can’t.
Great lyrical account of some awful events. What is the country built on if not immigration? Was a time when immigrants were called founding fathers, pioneers, frontiersmen and women, and were seen as building a new world for the future. I can't begin to know what it must feel like to be considered alien in your own country
