Poems Xenophobic Melody, Sacrifice and Crimson Blossoms by Teresita Blanco

Xenophobic Melody 
by Teresita Blanco

Don’t you dare come knocking on my door.

I’ll throw you off the 2^nd floor.

Do not plea, nor beg for mercy.

I am no charity,

My pockets must be full.

So get out of here, you fool!

I am tired of your face,

Why don’t you leave my place?

My back got broken

From toiling the ground

That you dare step.

Away with you, pest!

Your skeletal frame

Will not make me change.

Why must I give you

My family’s bread?

If you live, they will starve!

Life may be hard,

And you can’t find whom to blame.

Your cries fall on deaf ears.

Just get out of here!

Sacrifice
by Teresita Blanco

Blind us today,

So we may

Feel safe.

Now use your eyes.

Tell me,

What do you see?

Craft your laws

And philosophy.

See the world with those eyes.

From you, the truth does not hide.

We gave up our powers, for this?

Alas, I grow bored of this bliss.

I want to see again.

Your heart, your glow, your flame. 

Crimson Blossoms 
by Teresita Blanco

Open old wounds.

Let those crimsons blossoms

Cover your chest.

Wondering in this desert,

A siren sounds in the distance.

You cannot seem to forget,

The sins you dare not remember.
