In The News-Cinco De Mayo


Cinco De Mayo
(Mexico)

“Cinco de Mayo!” you shout with glee.
You say this day you were set free.
Set free...to what...for thousands flee
...you never slew your enemy.

Some salved their pain but hurt lives on.
And though you shout the foe is wan,
he lives and he will never die
until your Nation’s ills are gone.

You would not need to move your bed
to other lands that you be fed,
if you’d stand tall and claim the spoils
brave others won through blood once shed.

Your land can feed your ev’ry need
if others dare not sate their greed.
So solve your problem there, your home,
...for only then will all be freed.
