Maria Rosa Avila Poems

I lead with power over the white men who stepped over me
I lead with power over those who once stole my people's land
I lead with power to silence the white men who preyed on me
I lead with power over those who stole the voice of my family
...

Dirijo con poder sobre los hombres blancos que me pisaron
Dirijo con poder sobre aquellos que una vez robaron la tierra de mi pueblo
Dirijo con poder para silenciar a los hombres blancos que se aprovecharon de mí
Dirijo con poder sobre los que robaron la voz de mi familia
...

I am from the mountains
I am from the deserts
Pero tambien soy de los nopales y frijoles
De vaporub y caldito de pollo para la fievre aunque yo no quiera.
