stupid america, see that chicano
with a big knife
in his steady hand
he doesnt want to knife you
he wants to sit on a bench
and carve christ figures
but u wont let him.
stupid america, see that chicano
shouting curses on the street
he is a poet
without paper and pencil
and since he cannot write
he will explod.
stupid america, see that chicanito
flunking math and english
he is the picasso
of your western states
but he will die
with one thousand masterpeices
hanging from his mind
