Mexico
Institutionalized in a class with the words of Marx
The hierarchy of the Marxist approach exists outside of International Relations
In the streets, in our relationships
Class struggle, which negates economic determinism and when it doesn’t -
When a white woman leaves her seat to escape a Mexican man’s presence

For heart surgeries the production’s hands could never afford
Those hands can speak of Globalization too. Betch’a never woulda guess’d it.

They never asked if the Latinas, and Chicanos, wanted it. With gracious homes and tradicion de Espana para unicos, la hijos de Mexico. Yo soy una Americana. Yo soy embarasada.
“Ask Not For Whom The Bell Tolls, It Tolls For Me.”
Institutionalized in class with the words of Marx. With the guilty. With the ineffectiveness. With the theory. Without the action. Institutionalized in class.
