this one should have an epigraph of Vallejo,"hay golpes en la vida...como del odio dedios." Try that for freedom of expression.

"There are pains so deep they feel the sameas God's hatred for me." I am not atranslator. I can't always let down the layer between English and Spanish. I feel thatSpanish has a longer cadence and ENglishis curvaceous and fighting within itself. Iused to know a very silly meaning of hateuntil I began to be the target of hatesentiment.

When my students ask me, "so are youteaching?" I say, "no," but I still feelconfused over my lack of desire to return.

Remember that saying? There are THINGS thatno one can Take Away? (Odios como del odiode Dios). Youths, you know you've heard it andyour EDUCATION is one. It is yours to haveforever. When it is lashed by the

disappointments of corporate music that led tothere no longer being singers but vocoders tosome that's sad. Not to me. I guess i like it whenmusic is pop first and I just can't deny how muchI love mass media as well



Those who are now afraid to say that they are

stunned, confused, somehow

underwhelmed by actually getting somethingpeople are happy for (when they aren'tbeing groomed by some ideology or itsdiscontents) such as being free fromdeportation?

Civil Disobedience has its detractors but I couldnever be one under any occasion. "We havea moral obligation to disobey unjust laws."We are illegal only those who DON'Tparticipate in some form of self-representative action or activity andeverything should be valid. We aren't going

to be adolescents forever activists. Why dowe so want to be in front of the cameras?How much faith can people have in thatcrap? Legends of activism? It's more than alittle ridiculous that I can't even suppresshow satirical it seems. I was arrested in asit-in against the first Iraq war at UCLA.

There's more to it than that and it had to dowith certain people who would be thereJUST UNTIL and JUST BEFORE the hand-cuffs were presented. Out they'd run, afraid.



It is NOT easy I repeat not Easy to decide to do

it. But don't blame someone who tries to use

rhetoric to convince you. THey are still your peer. They are still your sister or brother if you want to put it that way. We need tomature and seek more challenges then. So,who's got a new idea? Are there Dream Actorgs stopping anyone from doing whatever they want? Whether it's some org, agency,or individual, no YOUTH should be forced tochoose sides in some conflict. I don'trepresent anyone and none represent me. Ihave my story to teach and I have a goal. Iwant to end sex crimes in the higher educational system. I have a machete to

swing. I'm not here to pretend I've gainedany civility toward those who harm thelearners of our communities, cities, andstate.

An artist can NEVER be humble. They can behumble ONLY in pure solitude. NEVER let

down your guard. Keep to the root of thematter which is your soul--the material andsheer imagination....its ability to transfer,transcend, and transmute in countlessvariety to create the basis for a mass



consciousness through one's own gateway.Poetry is a telegraph as Lorna DeeCervantes demonstrates in "From Love and

Hunger, Cables of Genocide" (AP)

As a machine of words, you can construct your mind with forms: They may be partially of shape or partially of nothing, somewhat likelayers or of various internal construction. Ahouse. A Car. An Architectural Feature...Youcan also structure your mind as youmeditate, sleep, or get bored. A good mentalexercise can truly help you to get throughmeetings and other brutalities of authority or bias.

THe only worthwhile pursuit is the impossibleone. What is the most impossible task wehave? To love ourselves. Who can do that?

Today I talked to a writer. We spoke of how tocreate a verbal execution by poetic style of

certain silences that seem to enforcethemselves on us.

Suddenly our thoughts seem to becomeunauthorized. Our senses are picking up



signals of the radars of targeting. They areactually being distributed in political framing.It had to do with political theory. It sounded

very interesting and as partly feasible totransfer from political science to poetry. (Sothere's your Education however you feelabout it) You can re-institute it back andaway from the classroom and forced it toconfront itself with what it can't understand,the unschool that is humanity. There is nohumanity in education. So, it is true, ameasure such as the cessation of deportation has questionable timing for howthings may have gone autochthonously byself-representation. Or was this cessation aform of an invitation by the federal

government to begin lubricating the processthat would provide naturalization andgeneral relief from the changing economics.Is there change? I don't think therepublicans want to run the government rightnow. They know they are out of their leaguewith President Obama or Obama, I say it

either way. The greatest losses toRepublicans have been symbolic ones.They are still wealthy no doubt. But theycan't find a PR machine savvy enough to dowhat Karl Rove was known to do: beat the



civic culture with outrageous misanthropy.Soon every successful administrator wantedto be a mini Karl Rove.

When you don't have humanity, what doescitizenship mean?

All the people who died since 911 contribute toa large blood spill. But it's important not toforget that when it happened Bush seizedthe government. It was not a military junta. Itwas a political financial one. It led directly tothe abandonment of due process andhabeus corpus. What took place inimmigration was sort of like the first

immediate twist of authority of the people'shumanity. But I do believe that humanityextracted itself. I do believe that humanity iscoming back. I feel dramatically parallelwhen I speak this openly and with this muchfree speech, that I can call up Anne Frank'svoice as I read it when I was 13 and

everybody does. We have to deal with theroots of the immigration civil war takingplace. It's been a difficult time and it still is ahorrible time. But if we don't try to capturewhat we can from living as a political art,



then when will we ever take a break? Theyouth can take over their own destinies andwe should NOT divide them by any bias of

ours. I know the local institution has done itsdamage and yet it has its apologists. LOL.It's so silly being ball-less like that AND aman or so-called! Leaving it Be and takingon more. But the mirrors of vanity need their tyranny, they insist. Aztlan, Chicanos, andDreamers, Elves, Faeries, Goddesses,Hoes, Idiots, Jodones, Krooked, liver-stained, malathion, Nooses, opulence,PhDs, queers, rhymers, scientists, teasers,uglisenators, viagra, wikipedia, zumba. ADance is a better way to Smile than Vote.VOting to the Voteless is a little unDope.
