Not Just Names

there is a history

that happened just yesterday

that no one

knows anything

about

These are not just names

Ciudad Juarez

is for Juarez,

the man

Cinco de Mayo

is for the victory

on May 6th

1862

Mexicans had over the

French…

Even Napoleon III

couldn’t

handle it

New Mexico,

California,

and Texas…

these were places

drawn much larger

unknown

to non-Spaniard gringos

before the

1800s.

these were settled by

tejanos

mestizos

mulatos

criollos too

Only starting with

13 colonies in the east

was not a coincidence

your territories

out there

were stolen

by

none other

than

the

US

and now

you want

the ‘immigrants’

you kicked off

their land

a little more

than 100

years ago

to leave again?

America

you’re out

of

line
