Flesh
This Streched and Bruised Flesh
That protects and Exposed My compressed
Healing Scars which remain fresH
Unaware of the Pain that makes those aware Depressed
Depressed to know we know nothing
Conformed to THink our color is ugly
SO we alter till' there is little of our ancestors if anything
As Farmers,Thugs and Minority's we are perplexed Rugidly
For we have learned Aztec's,Mayan's and Inca's we once were
Vaguely Told what we they did
So I adopted The culture, I was fed
In Textbooks I read of what the Spanish did
Raped Women,killed off Indians with Guns and Cannons
I Only Know so Much, of how our dead cultures been reminnised
But This Flesh KNows, Shows and Remembers all of it.
