What’s in your water?
—
he who controls the water
enslaves the world
she who pollutes the water
destroys herself
he who puts a price on the water
steals from his mother’s womb
la madremisma
will curse your
fluoride fortune &
fountains of filth
because el agua
no sevende
the precious resource
is free &
when contained
will dry up in your mouth
slip through your hands
& flow back to its
place of origin
like these words
water will flow
free forever
flow forever
flow freeWater es vida
I take mine
pure & unrefined
you should tooFrom the book Codeswitch: Fires From Mi Corazon by Iris De Anda
