Dying for Crumbs

Dying for Crumbs 


that's how the west was won

crossing a trail of blood 

to bathe in the ocean 

of forgiveness 

that's why we're so silent 

esa es la muerte 

Mictlantecuhtli

al acecho 

castigo por no 

haberlos matado 

a todos 

la primera vez 


*translation of Spanish:

 

that's death 

Mictlantecuhtli (Aztec god of the underworld, hell)

haunting us 

punishment 

for not killing 

them all 

the first time
