"Stupid America" - Abelardo Delgado

Stupid America

Stupid American, see that Chicano with a big knife in his steady hand
He doesn't want to knife you
He wants to sit on a bench and carve Christ figures
but you won't let him.

Stupid America, hear that Chicano shouting curses on the street
He is a poet without paper and pencil and since he cannot write
He will explode.

Stupid America, remember that Chicanito flunking math and English
He is a Picasso of your western states
but he will die with one thousand masterpieces
hanging only from his mind.
