Knowledge is power! :-)

This poem was written by a Pablo Rodriguez
I just wanted to share it with yall  
"Knowledge is power
No matter the game
Keep me down
Keep it all the same
But I learn from my history
My future unsure
I follow my dreams
Today I endure
Never again
Never like this
Not like yesterday
The good times I missed
Today it is his
Tomorrow it is mine
Knowledge and justice
All in due time
We continue the struggle
Continue the fight
Look for someday
That thief in the night
Justice will come
His history is absurd
Read between the lines
Question his word
To find my future
I search in my past
Today will be better
Not like the last
I saw my history
My heart took a breath
Another Campesino
Poisoned to death
Look in the factories
Mira the fields
Substandard living
While riches he yields
He feeds my body
Nourishes my mind
My heroes on T.V.?
No ...
Not there you won't find
She works as your nanny
Harvests you food
Better life better living always pursued
They feed the world
Struggle to feed themselves
A nation of poor within a nation of wealth
Minimum wage
Tomorrow a better life
Anything to keep going
Today to survive
Their work poisoned our bodies
Their schools poisoned our minds
They've done it all
And still we shall rise
You have an American Dream
I have a Chicano Vision
Get off your couch
Turn off your television
Leap tall buildings in a single bound?
No!
Not my heroes
On T.V. are not found"
