A
Few Crazy Fools

Welcome
to the Challenge
I do not
understand, I am lost, and they don’t respect me,
They shout at
me, they insult me, they tell me what to do, and they ignore me.
La Pinta, La Niña, y La Santa María,
We come with
stress,
We live among a
few crazy fools
It’s a fact; don’t
you see it?
We live in history,
Patience is
required to endure,
We live
confused and lost,
And they
continue to disrespect us.
I am tired of
carrying rocks in my pockets,
I cannot stand
the shouting and insults,
If you don’t
like my work, you should come and sit next to me.
My people are
always firm,
Perhaps you
have not noticed.
They are
powerful classes,
Children who
want to educated
But instead of
teaching,
They help us to
be suffocated.
Continue
to work hard and you better excel,
If
you go away, you will not return,
We
are all like the shooting stars.
They want to
take our eyes out,
We are the
cause of their anger.
Zero drugs,
zero compassion,
But in the end,
there is a lot of temptation.
A year ago, we
were strangers,
This year, we
are recognized,
We got lost
between shouts and insults,
But we have
found ourselves among the Purple nation/individuals.
The secret is
that everything is a play,
That shakes and
shakes.
We live among a
few crazy fools,
It’s a fact, if
we make a mistake,
The grave will
not forgive us.
It
has a price.
Although it
sounds so simple,
I carry all the
bricks,
Until the
children get tired,
And the
crickets of shouting.
Everything is
like a screw,
Hypocrites.
They seek how to
humiliate
But in the end
everything is love.
They step on us
like rats,
They are a few
crazy fools,
But we love each
other.
It is not so
easy,
Although, it
sounds so simple,
I will paint
each brick
Of our castle.
My talents with
them are well utilized,
We unite the
best because the best only survive,
We fear
nothing, we unite,
And I doubt
those bastards will derive us.
