A Non-Chola’s Guide To Non-Anglo Poets
Beavers are adorable creatures
With that I have no argument
But let’s not talk about yours
Because there’s no blessing there
Guilty is my cholo mind
That suspects what’s in the store
Where empty minds and empty souls
Are walking around like zombies
I suspect that you are expecting
That my mouth remains in silence
I won’t sit so idly by
While you try to rob my culture
Nah, I ain’t threatening to take over
Just saying that I’m watching
So you don’t impregnate the world
With vacant words and raw stupidity
,,,culture and identity and self and creativity are being robbed – always – by big big forces that wish billions to consume like mindless objects ,,,, No one “culture” is particularly targetted ….Good, though, to see those big big forces being fought, in this case, with the poem ….
