Lo Que Siento En El Corazor Poem by Ramona Thompson

Lo que giento en el corazon
You've got a right to speak your mind
No matter what they say
No matter what they try to do
To otherwise try and silence you
You still have to have the guts to stand up
Stand up and fight for your right
Your right to be
To write whatever the...you want
Whenever you want
Tell 'em to....off
Back off and mind their own beeswax
It's just bitterness and jealousy that is pushing them
Swinging them into taking a swing at you and your art
So be outragous
Be rude
Heck, if you want to
If you really really think you ought to
You should even try to be just a little bit crude
Watch 'em give you some attitude
Flip 'em off
Peeve 'em off with your favorite writing pen
And keep right on writing
Fighting
To shut them up
Once and for all
Fellow poets and artists
Let us stand together as one
To break in half the sticks they seem to have
Shoved up their butts
Together let's start a whole new movement
A new underground movement
To scream out
Loud and proud
Death!
Death to censorship and all those that support it!
