Maya Poems From Isla Mujeres

¡ViIVA LA REVOLUTION!

firing squads

blasted bullet holes

into Mexican stone walls

killing patriots

who

live

forever

in minds

still burning with freedom

Pancho Villa, Zapata, Jesús Malverde

Margarita Neri shooting and looting

with her campesino worker army

Eagle and Serpent

sent by Maya gods

to free island people

Rebels fought

for land

and liberty

Guerrilla ghosts

now stare

from pastel painted walls

on this busy Isla Mujeres street

Heroes forever
