Through the underbrush, sprays are dumped
catch cultivators off, reduce crops to humps;
processed powders are still sent outdoors
latin music plays, feet tap on floors

Sheets of the music taped around wiasts
young kids, enlisted to transport fate;
like gypsy kids tossed into crescendo streets,
latin music attracts, tourists and locals meet.

sprays fall, millions protect pipeline ventures
locals stage fights for control and adventures;
sunglassed tourists migrate to sheltered coasts
surveillance is kept by an air ship that floats.

Millions invested in one crop or another
latin rythem beats to console forlorn mothers
tangoed feet weave through insurgent grounds
latin music plays until new crops are found.

Hi Sy,

I chose an indirect approach not to be to blatant glad you enjoyed

Very interesting Martin.  I love the way you almost always..never come right out and tell us what you are saying...therefore encouraging a second, and at times a third read...excellent!
Well done my friend!

BRAVO!!! Oh Martin, I immediately smiled just reading the title, Latin music is my favorite music of all for I love the cadence and melody it has and how through time it has also held a deep meaning of spiritual awakening and politics! (sigh) Shakira is my favorite artist of all, and I also admire the works of Little Joe, Rocky, Y La Familia and other Latin artists. (big hugggsssss) This is wonderful, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martin, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

~Sinking fast into
an ocean of you,
what if I told you,
what if I said
that I love you
do we dare cross
that line between your
heart and mine~
