speak
La Boca
the mouth
Mi Boca
My mouth
I speak but I am hushed
Callate me dicen
No one should be allowed to speak
tienes poder
Lo tienes?
Do you have power?
No.
tienes dinero
Lo tienes?
Do you have the money?
No.
no soy un corrupto
no tengo el dinero ni el poder
Pero tengo mi voz.
But
I have that voice.
You can tell me to shut up
You can take away my rights
You can attack me
Pero
But
I won't hush down
I will speak
Con mi Voz
Our entire way of life we have been restricted and limited to what we can do and say
open minds
Habre las mentes de las gentes que han sido calladas
One shouldn’t be told how to think but taught the very aspects of how they have a voice, that they should apply it into real-world problems and their voices are the solutions
When one speaks up they can influence and when one influences they can motivate and change lives
usa tu voz
every race, ethnic group, color, and gender have a voice and should use it in order to go against those who wish to oppress us and restrict us from our rights
Use your voice
Habre tu boca no te quedes callado
speak.

Poetry has been my escape ever since I could remember. Every time I think of what to say or write, my throat has a seal that is broken free from strangulation. Words tend to sporadically slip out of my mouth and I have the pure enjoyment of writing them down.
