divine
we
left with past conquest
children of many skins and eyes
we
children of struggle
survival in us
thick as dark blood
The X hold the bridge,
el puente xican@
I don’t care about no glass ceiling
Cuz I aint climbing up.
I don’t want to reach the top
Sit on the golden throne and toast
With jewel encrusted kings.
What I want is for the kingdom
To cease to exist.
I love yeast
Cuz it makes the bread rise
And I love the way the wind twirls my kite
But I don’t care about no glass ceiling
Cuz I aint climbing up.
