Posole For The Soul

by Erizo Li - Scorpio

How I want some good ole Posole
Get me a bowl
get me a spoon
I want to dig in
and get back to the barrio
away from this mainstream world
where the bland & plain
are praised over the substance & intelligence
of the underground

I'm so tired of these fast-food joints
shitty pop music
Hollywood shufflin' box office drones
ran by corporate conglomorates
surrounded by satellites & telecommunication firms
miscommunicating what reality is to me
Implying that Blanquito Boy Bands
and Air-Head Hueras
are the way to be
That Mariachis & B-Boys
should crossover
as Abercrombie Bitches
who should have no sense of culture
and Americanize in a heart beat for Uncle Sam
Who doesn't want KRS-1 or Augustin Lara 
to reign

Get me a bowl of Posole
so I can share this dish with the world
and prove that authenticity & originality
is the way to go
Pass me the lemon
Pass me the Salt
Pass me the Salsa
Lets enjoy this authentic dish
and if we can all enjoy this bowl of Posole
Imagine what else we can have
Wonton Soup
Gumbo
Pansit
You name it
I'll hesitate to say Chicken Noodle
because we have that shit thrown in our
faces everyday
But let me get back to my Posole
CHINGADA MADRE SI...............!

Reason for writing:

    Posole for all, even for the Marshmellows and Servilletas.......
