want to thank everybody for coming out

today to continue the dialogue about the

things that are attacking our community

a community of mexicanos cubanos Puerto

Rico knows dominicanos Salvadorans

Colombia knows those born here those not

born here Spanish speakers non-spanish

speakers gay straight male female trans

we are diverse but we are also family

somos familia and we got to stick

together right

all right I've been working on a little

something that I want to share with you

guys

it's called reflection so be nice

Brown boy looked into the mirror and saw

his cinnamon skin like that of the Aztec

Kings before him he had his father's

eyes which raged like fire his mother's

lips which spilled Spanish like coins at

school he spoke words of his mother's

land was punished with a ruler against

the hand for that is the tongue of the

savage man his teacher would tell him

the other children did not know his name

but speak or wetback worked just the

same he thought his parents must be

cruel for handing him over to such a

world and soon he learned to suffocate

to mask to shrink to supplicate to shed

his skin withhold his name until the

mirror showed no face brown boy brown

boy what are the rules you had to learn

to play this game did the pyramids of

the Sun and Moon leave you without music

of worship one day the boy walked into

the wilderness without his parents

without his teachers and the son smiled

at his orphaned face it's fire in his

eyes and heat on his lips and he laid

down under the weight of the world to

become one with the dust of his

ancestors but the rains soon came in and

seeped into the dirt that curled the

shell around his body his skin became

clay formed by the gods there was a

music he could now hear and he was

reborn from a child to the dirt to a man

who came to learn his name and then he

returned to the world as himself and now

he stands tall as temple my Yoda and

looks into mirrors with eyes ablaze song

on his lips that break into a smile

because now he can sing his ancient name

and his ancient name is the future

[Applause]
