"I love my job.

Retail is such a rewarding expirience.

The only thing I love more than lagging behind 11 pm
to fix displays messed up by 6-year-olds
playing mortal combat in the aisles
is hearing this man,
my boss,
ask me in such a non-condescending manner
to speak the native language.

I responded to dave like this.

I
speak English
flawlessly.

But I feel that the language
simply does not do you justice.

There is no sentence I can formulate
in the English language
that could adequiately convey
que clase de estupido, imbecil, ignorante, malcriado,
hijo de gran perra
that you are

The oldest city in this country is a city called St. Augustine
in a place called Florida
both established by Spaniards
on a land that did not belong to them

No one spoke a word of English.
And up until a little while ago,
half of this country was Mexico.

When you tell me this is America,
I should know
because I speak Spanish

The only difference between us
is the origin of our conquistadores.

Is that your jaw on the floor,
Dave?

Good morning, Papi
I was born here too.

Watched Jersey slowly turn brown as it grew to love
pasteles at Christmas time
respect our abuelas
and fear the wrath of the almighty chancleta

and people like me negotiated car deals and insurance policies,
called DMV and PSE&G,
because if we didn't,
people like you would run circles of English
around our exclusively Spanish-speaking parents

My father cleaned floors with his blood
my mother suffers from permanant pelo malo
and to this day, bank tellers speak to me
as if I only learned how to count that morning

but I'm ok with that.

While you grumble about how these dirty sp*cs
ought to learn English or go home
keep in mind
this dirty sp*c has a 3.5 GPA
this dirty sp*c is unafraid to say what may get him fired, because
this dirty sp*c daydreams
like Picasso
who wasn't American either.

Niether was Pablo Nierda
Salvador Dali
Simon Bolivar
Jose Marti

salsa marengue
bachata saoco
San Juan
Quisqueya
dulce de coco
poesia
agua bendita
madres gritando
Ave Maria
¡Mira!
¡Menso!
¡Vete tu pa'l carajo!

Oh.

You didn't understand what I said.
Well, allow me to translate. Dave.

I said.
This is America.
Speak what you d*mn well please."

Oh, Heinrich, you make me laugh.

I could bet anything that I am more mature than you. I post a mature poem, and all you do is insult me?

For what? Nothing. You are just filled with hate.

Heinrich, Heinrich....

I did not write this poem. If you will refer to the bottom, it clearly says, "Rich Villar"

Maybe you should start working on your mentle issues.

Try working on your mature-less behavior, huh? You are as mature as a little boy who is throwing a fit over something that didn't quite go his/her way.

Mira Serge!
Pride goeth before a fall.
Remember it IS the civilization of the USA that you and your family came to "recover" (that's assuming you ever had it in the old country, wherever that is). What you seek is clearly not in Mexico or Central America, other wise you would be here only as a tourist. Maybe looking forward to returning to a home you loved? Instead you sound kinda like a second generation ingrate. It is common among the ejo's of first generation, amnestied illegals.
Frankly, it sounds like you are a toursit anyway. Working illegally?
If you don't like your dueno amigo, go back to where you or your parents came from and see if you can find some human solace there.
Good luck. Until then bite the bullet and keep your nose to the grindstone. That's where it belongs if you want to live in the USA.
It's the price America will charge, wether you/yours are here legally or otherwise.
