WE DIED 500 YEARS AGO
(but we can live again as scholar-warriors)
In 1492 Europeans began their invasions of our continent
and they stole from us the heart of who we are as a people.
They stole from us our lands and the wealth of our lands,
and left us in poverty as they grew wealthy and powerful from our lands.
They stole from us our history and our Nican Tlaca identity
and took credit for our people's accomplishments.
They stole from us our cities and civilizations by destroying them,
making us think that we were savages without a history.
They stole from us our intellectual achievements
by burning our books and hiding our genius accomplishments.
Today we live as Zombie Slaves of the Europeans,
without warriors or intellectuals,
without philosophers or leaders,
without our lands, without the wealth of our lands,
without our books, schools, or universities,
without pride in the genius of our people’s accomplishments.
When you see our people today they do not look dead,
but for all that is truth, we might as well be dead.
Today we are the gangster, the capitalist, the Christian,
the sports fan, the corrupt politicians, the drug addict,
the self-haters, the people who dye their hair blond,
the people who are Nican Tlaca but call themselves
"Hispanic-Latino-Latinx-Raza-Mestizo-Latin-Hommie" etc,
the people who live in poverty and who are without hope
on their own lands,
on our lands that are the revenue, the capital,
the stolen wealth and the only hope
for the trash of Europe, the criminals,
the most immoral of their people, that came here
under European colonialism.
We have been dead 500 years but we look alive.
We walk and talk as slaves of the Europeans,
kidding ourselves that we are free and not slaves.
We have become for all practical purposes a dead people.
We speak of ourselves, of our ancestors, as a "they"
and "them", the "Indians", that were killed
by the beasts of Europe, as if we are somehow
Europeans now.
The Europeans killed 100 million (95%)
of our people in order to steal our lands and wealth
from us, and to make the 5% of us who survived
our holocaust into the slaves of Europeans.
We walk and talk and eat and sleep every day
as if we are not dead, as if we have true lives.
We have sex and have children, on and on we live the lie
that we live, that we exist, that we are
“Latinos, Hispanics, Latinx, Raza” and the rest of the lies.
Each generation we are born dead, born without honor, without warriors.
We are not a true people, not true nations.
We are not true living people, we lack Nican Tlaca knowledge.
We lack Nican Tlaca knowledge of who we were, who we are.
Ironically, sadly, and in a self-genocide way
we do not want that Nican Tlaca knowledge that will liberate us.
The world looks down on us, does not respect us.
They respect the ruins of our ancestors,
the ruins of who we were,
but now who we are.
We are like zombies, like the living dead.
We are like ghosts, like shadows of Europeans,
with nothing of substance accounting for who we are.
We live without value in this world,
we have
nothing of truth of who we are.
Every day we are walked mentally
to our graves and buried
in piles of false dreams, in the holes and caves of empty lives.
They give us Jesus and Drugs and Sports and Music
and Gangs to dumb us down and to terrorize us
and to live in fear of the "White Man".
We do not understand our state of non-being, we cry
thinking that our poverty, our misery, our terrorized lives
are all our fault and not the evil doings of Europeans.
We obey the Europeans when we are told
to follow our dead ends and lies
that always lead us to the same empty lives
that we have lived for centuries
as slaves of the Europeans.
We obey when we are put in our graves.
Europeans control our lands and wealth and that is what makes us dead.
We are ignorant of ourselves and that is also what makes us dead.
We are cowards and traitors to ourselves, and that also makes us dead.
We live in lies and church fantasies and that is what also makes us dead.
We live in the escape of “spirituality”, what is simply emotional masturbation,
and that is death.
And living for drugs and gangs and music is more of what makes us dead.
We live without Nican Tlaca scholars and warriors and that is what
will ultimately always make us dead.
Our curses of ignorance and terrorism and cowardice and foolishness,
and being slaves of European could be lifted
with simple learning of the Nican Tlaca truth found in the mirror.
Our curse and damnation could be ended with simply standing up for our rights
to our lands, to our freedom, to our rights to have warriors guiding our people,
warriors defending our people, teaching them honor, and leading our people
to confront colonialism, white supremacy, and genocide.
Our curses would fall off of us like leaves in the autumn
if we simply learne our true Nican Tlaca heritage,
if we lived as Nican Tlaca scholar-warriors for our people,
as one people all across our continent of Cemanahuac.
We are a people of genius, a people of cities and civilizations
that have been poisoned and fooled by 500 years of European terrorism,
European colonialism, European evils,
European-caused serial holocausts and genocide.
We are capable of being the heroes of legends,
that rise to be the honorable and noble scholar warriors
for our people all across our continent.
We are capable of defeating those evil pale people of Europea
who used deceit to kill 100 million of our people
in a series of holocausts all across our continent
with smallpox as a biological weapon of mass extermination.
We can easily lift our curse by lifting books, by reading the idea:
liberation through Nican Tlaca education, through embracing honor,
by becoming scholar-warriors for our people.
But the idea is not allowed to enter our heads because of 500 years
of psychological damage, damage that will not allow truth
to enter our minds, that prevents us from opening a book for liberation,
that prevents us from confronting all of the evils that are European colonialism.
Fear has become part of our culture, and we must burn it,
end it, and replace it without Nican Tlaca scholar-warrior selves
that we are capable of becoming.
But for now, every night we will walk to our graves, dig our own graves,
do our drugs, watch sports, speak our gang culture, our church fantasies,
chase our sexual pursuits, live in drunkenness,
and listen to the music of our demise, dancing to the music of genocide,
and singing the songs of slaves, as the dirt covers our faces,
as the graves are sealed and our descendants continue to live as living dead.
But every morning they too will rise again, and they will
dig themselves out of their graves to live their generation of slave lives,
living in their poverty, their generation of colonialism, their genocide.
They will go back into the world of our ancestors into lives where they
exist only to serve as slaves of our European masters.
We can end these 500 years of serving the parasitic vampire European masters
who feed off our blood and slavery and lives and the wealth of our lands.
We can end our silence, our submission, our cowardice, with a simple: NO!.
For now, the beginning and the end of the story
is nowhere in sight, nowhere is it searched for by our people.
The end of the story will never come, the living dead will serve and be buried.
If you find yourself unhappy with our fate
become a Nican Tlaca scholar-warrior
and rebel, but rebel intelligently,
learning Nican Tlaca truth and teaching Nican Tlaca truth,
in an organized way, with truth and courage and honor as your guides.
