The Honor of La Raza
Our ancestors endured hardship
and poverty. Men and women
of courage immigrated to the
United States.
Holding dreams close to their
heart ,they raised their children
and through hard work they
held their heads high.
Many of their children, went
to wars and came back heroes,
even though their valor was
not recognized as it should
have been.
Struggling with racism and
bigotry they still pressed on
knowing that justice and
honor were on their side.
They did not ever lose faith
even though there tired bodies
ached because they knew their
children depended upon them.
Now, respect and honor crown
their hearts with the strength of
lions which they have passed on
to the youth.
Greatness and
power are now
within the
reach of all young
Chicano's,
but they must have
the courage
to live out their lives
with honor
and not fall victims
to the “fake
honor of dishonor
and
mediocrity.”

The Puppet Master and the Destruction of La Raza
Each time a brown skinned baby is born the
hate in his evil eyes only grew stronger.
"I need to have these people destroyed."
"We are working on it your majesty, but they
seem to be waking up."
"That must never happen, as my plans for
them will not work if they awaken." "What do
you want us to do, master?" "I am the
Puppet
Master, creator of all lies and destruction. I
shall
fill their minds with the poison of ignorance and
make them forget the honor of the Mexican
American people.
Then I will make them hate each other through
promoting gangs and false machismo. Jealousy
and envy will help me fill their hearts with greed
and blind their eyes to the truth, until La Raza
is
finally destroyed."
"But, will it work master?" "Of
course, even now
they turn on each other believing my beautiful
lies.
I trick their minds so easily, by making them
believe
that good is evil, and evil is good and they don't
even doubt me when I cause them to disobey
their parents."
"Your plans always work master, but what if
they
find out the truth?" "No, they must
never find out
that the sacred keys to victory in life are
learning
and knowledge!
I will give them drugs instead, alcohol, sex,
and plenty of pleasure, until they fall into my
traps of poison flowers. I will also send them
alluring eye candy so that they will form bad
romantic relationships that will never work,
until they forget all about the power within
learning and knowledge.
I then will also make their hearts hard and
selfish until they will lose all respect and love
for each other, so that even the tears that they
shed at funerals will be fake. How ironic that
the senseless violence I love so much will
ruin so many of their young lives.
I will also make their hearts forget goodness,
love, respect and honor, just like all the other
cultures throughout the world that I have
destroyed, then I will reign supreme in the
world.
And I will not stop until their lives are ruined
and destroyed because they willingly choose
ignorance and foolishness over education and
wisdom. They, will never know that wealth,
success, power and happiness, can be theirs
through learning and knowledge.
What's more, If the young people of La Raza
were to ever open their eyes they would
conquer life itself just as they did in ages past.
That is why, we must stop them, before they
lift up the flaming sword of learning and grasp
the golden crown of knowledge which is their
heritage and reach for the very stars!"
Learning and Knowledge are Critical to Success.
