Bio
Quaker buddhist, kinda quirky, loves cooking and knitting and movies. Dr Who fan, Scandinavian-aquarian and cat lover. Would love to be paid to travel around the world and write about local healing cultures. While eating and drinking and dancing. One day I will have a health cruise in the fjords.

Ode to our Latin Migrant Workers: 101 Words in 9 Haiku

Rate: 3 Flag

Paying things with cash

My economy likes you

Thanks for the cheap fruit

 

Your swine flu fever

Probably felt like mine did

But you had to work

 

Without your presence

We’d have to blame each other

For grandfather’s greed

 

We took your water

Built the maquilladoras

And spas in El Dorado

 

How can they cry out

Against the Nazi Barack,

Then ask for ID?

 

Sheriff Arpaio

Should focus on citizens

They hurt more people

 

I can’t understand

All the telenovelas

They’re really sexy

 

Thank you for salsa

Tequilas and tamales

Desayuno mejor

 

No such Entity

As an illegal person

Fucking politics

great job with this- you covered a lot of issues and painted a snapshot of a day in the life, all with lovely words.

thanks Linda- it's going to be interesting watching this debacle unfold- as I work with people who are on the pro-side of this legislation.

Really good. (How's that for articulate?)
