A poem for May 1: Taco Megamarch by Nephtalí‏

Hey Raza
come out of your casa
we gotta demonstrate
the sleeping giant is awake
they raid us in Chicago
police state Arizona
they break up our homes
consider us alien race
creatures from outer space!
what about their own tea party
real aliens protesting
fake feathers and all
while our true native millions
are split by a wall
they got detention centers
all over the country — prisons
as if we committed treason
21st century concentration camps!
whose the immigrant, pilgrim?
we’re migrants moving in our homes
we´re having a megamarch fiesta
with apple pie rich and crusty
and national tacos for justice!
