Our Tribal Nation Motto: Like A Mountain We Stand Alone Los Tainos Tainos in the mountains In your island paradise Nothing prepared you For the Europeans For the greed For the quest On their push west Tainos Hiding, from the strangers But they found you Pushed you till you almost died out In the mines searching For non-existent gold Some survivors Hid away In the forests Some survivors In my bloodline You still live My people are loud And crazy Love to dance Too Passionate Lazy too But we love Yes, its a truth We people of Puerto Rico Are like flowers We come in all colors But our nector is the same Because it came from the same seed Los Tianos Its in the heart Anita 3/6/02

Oye Boricua! Viva Puerto Rico la tierra del coqui! Y tambien.....que paso con la nueve noventa cinco y el otro precio???? (Not bad for a New York Jew eh?)
Lady A, Just this past Saturday I was contrasting how the heart of the Puerto Ricans is different from a latino group on a nearby island which shall go nameless. How both approached a similar situation in business was very different.

This was beautiful! Loved these verses:

We people of Puerto Rico
Are like flowers
We come in all colors
But our nector is the same
Because it came from the same seed

Los Tianos
Its in the heart

Lovely,
