Dear Hate

Dear hate:

I am the antidote to your bigotry and racist rhetoric

I am the one who will fight against the odds

I am resistance and resilience,

I will be your worst nightmare.

 

I will empower future generations;

The ones who will tear down walls of separation

Those walls that divide us between them and us

I will help build bridges that connect us to equal opportunities.

 

In my veins runs the blood of great warriors,

Montezuma, Cuauhtémoc and Nezahualcóyotl will guide me to victory

I am the past, present and future;

I am the conscience of my people.
