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

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:
