THE NATION OF FOOLS THAT THEY HAVE MADE OF US
To live as an Hispanic, a Latino, Latin, Latinx, Raza, Mestizo, Colonized.
To live as an occupied nation, without our own teachers, as slaves.
To live on our lands in poverty as we are robbed on a daily basis.
To live without warriors to protect us, but with gangsters killing us.
To live dishonored and made slaves of a foreign evil pale race.
To live like that is not worthy of Nican Tlaca, of our true selves.
To live without knowledge of our selves is to not live as human beings.
You can take an ignorant person to knowledge but you can't make them think.
They will take in knowledge of European history and sports but not our own history.
You can take a foolish person to reason and sanity but you can't make them change their lives.
They will live their lives in drugs and drunkenness all of the days of their lives.
You can confront a vendido as to their treason but you can't make them stop being a traitor.
They will happily be the traitor to our people and the happy slave of white supremacy.
You can show people injustice with facts and logic but you can't make them favor justice.
They will only obey the programming and conditioning of 500 years of colonialism.
You can try to educate our people on the history of our great cities and civilizations
but you can't make them take pride in the genius and glory of our ancestors.
They only have ears and eyes for the things that are called "European beauty" in the world.
You can show our people the history of Europeans causing us a smallpox holocaust
that killed 100 million of our people, killing 95% of us, but you can't make them care about it.
They will care about 6 million Jews with tears, but not one tear will they shed for our people.
We were born to die, but not to live as ignorant slaves,
and not to live the lost and cowardly lives of fools.
It will take a mighty thought to lift us up to rise
from this imposed disgrace and dishonor that we live.
It might take centuries before we are able to properly
stand up as free full human beings, on our own lands.
For now our people live as slaves, as fools, drug addicts,
killing each other in gangs, living for sports, dying empty.
There are too few the ones who are not enslaved like this
but even they are also fools and cowards living in fear.
I see a blind man and a blind woman who can't see this truth!
I hear a deaf woman and a deaf man who can't hear this truth!
I know a truth that most can't understand with their blind minds.
I fear the hearts of my people have been twisted cold by colonialism.
We Nican Tlaca are not fully functioning as human beings.
We lack the full use of our intelligence and our abilities.
We are deprived of our lands, our nation, and the wealth of our continent.
We are a people without an army, without warriors, without honor.
We are ignorant of our history, our Nican Tlaca identity, and our ownership of this continent.
We are collectively a people suffering from Post Invasion Holocaust and Genocide Trauma.
We are collectively without our own schools, our own leaders, our own warriors.
We have failed to overthrow the colonial pale beast of Europe for 500 years.
We have failed to maintain our heritage, our warriors, and our dignity for 500 years.
We have become treacherous willing slaves of the pale beasts of Europe.
We have the ability to be thinkers and warriors once again.
We are capable of being geniuses just like our ancestors Pre-1492.
We alone will be the ones to free ourselves from European squatters.
We are the only ones who can stop the ongoing genocide of our people.
They are carefully, carefully
teaching us lies in schools
instead of truth to spare
the feelings of the descendants
of pirates, rapists, thieves and
racist genocidal killers
who stole all of the land
that they now have
to claim as theirs.
We are out of context of our collective ownership of our continent.
We are out of context of our Nican Tlaca history and identity.
We are out of context of our holocaust that killed 100 million of our people.
We are out of context of the genocide that has destroyed our civilizations.
We are out of context of the loss of our warrior societies that no longer protect us.
We are out of context of being a Nican Tlaca free from European occupation of our lands.
We are out of context of being a people with our own cities, our intellectuals, and our genius.
We are out of context of our magnificent accomplishments of our people in the sciences.
If you do not understand all of this, you need to study for liberation
or else before you know it you will have lived a totally useless empty life.
