Quierdida California

Leslé Honoré Poetry

Quierdida Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles del Río de Porciúncula,
Lunchar por tu dignidad, es amor propio, manténete firme

You can not separate
LA from immigrants
You can not divide
California from Mexicans
You can not destroy us
Erase us
Replace us
Deny us
We are the very roots that hold
The land to the earth
We are wings that will darken the sky
We are the breath that you can not
Extinguish
We are seeds
Watered by our ancestors blood
We will rise defiantly
We will rise collectively
We will rise infinitely
And we will fight
With a will
That outlives lies
Cowards
Bigots
Borders
And stolen land

Quierdida California
Beloved Los Angeles
Stand strong
We stand with you
And
FUCK ICE
Dryly !

That image is an inaccurate depiction of what is really happening, or could have been avoided without TACO intervening which caused a violent response. Depending upon where you get your news, there are distinct differences in the coverage of what is going on. I am depending upon family and friends of ours that live there!

@samueltyler2 i thought it was a powerful poem. The news we get in Australia appears to side with the Californian Governor not Trump.

@KiwiBird from what we hear, the violence was real, but came after the national guard interacted with those who were demonstrating peacefully.

@KiwiBird very sad, the media tends to rerun the few images of the violence. there are terrible people that enjoy creating more chaos, but watchout how they become more generalized, the Governor of Texas just announced that he will be deploying the national guard, before the marches scheduled this weekend.
