A Poem Titled: What Am I?

I am a contradiction,

but not a work of fiction.

I claim my native blood with love,

Not knowing names or where they’re from.

-

The Spanish came with gun and tongue.

Now Spanish blood does run and run.

My heart beats bum bum-bum bum-bum.

All their bloods, in mine they run.

-

The Spanish hearts I believed to be beneath me,

Were beating just as swiftly.

For me it was a civil war,

As across the sea came ever more.

Father, Father, blood and gore,

Not brother yet, but after war,

The blood would mingle more and more.

-

Far from their land my culture grew

And over here was all I knew.

I’m a product of another time and space,

Yet bear resemblance to this foreign place.
