How We See Things in the World

Mexico

Disparities and oppression will see you every day You will see Indigenous villages become tourist playgrounds Making profit all that matters Environmental hazards will burn your throat Seeing sick children will craze your mind Poverty and lack of support will break your heart.

A nation with potential, great people and rich culture Strike in poverty and hunger Work in factories without safety and protection The history of Mexico has too much to show.

Spanish invasion came one day Only to take culture that reviled amazing Aztec arts and beliefs. Indigenous people become slaves in their own lands Bottom of the system with no support Lands were taken by invaders Killing resources for hundreds of years Now in remains poorest of the poor in poor rural lands half without water

No chance of electric light Living in one room without small or no income This has been done to indigenous type. There are heroes in the striped land Pancho and Zapata Became a great help, opposing government fighting for the people New leader arise Carranza, but beware he will not be your friend.

Politician parties started and ruled, Social injustice helped the rich, hurt the poor. Zapatistas rise for the indigenous poor Keeping a fight to restore rights Indigenous langue’s still prevailed today 56 the number Diverse you could say All they want is simple have something to eat have a good health, Justice and peace, of course independence.

Child mortality climbs in a rage of sepsis, No sanitation, no medication Governments created great amendments Ratifying rights that not implemented

No regulations to keep the air clean Emissions and pollutants take over the sky, Geography and location makes a difference This pollution could not happen in neighboring soil

Sadness to truth always prevail adverse effects Cause permanent damages Hits hard with the poor in health no insurance Cancer and asthma better than death of the premature.

Drugs hurt tourism, people are scared What will come next, Indigenous country becomes a plantation Keeps beans, rice out people are scared Danger will come.

Sewage rotting in beautiful canyons, Logging and mining hurting the region. Vulnerable country with wonderful people Without jobs, stripped from hopes Factories come, factories go Dreams come, dreams go

Politics rule, people disbelief Voting has corruption, people were misled, Struggle in classes, fighting for rights, Movements for women end in a red light. Too deep the ideology gap workers and education cannot match.

Crimes and trafficking darken the light Disparities emerge From desperation to survive.
