THE PRESIDENT

by Luis Cuauhtemoc Berriozabal

The President
killed my family
a few years back:
He killed billions
of people, but he
did not kill me.

I was kept alive
to be President.
I’m waiting for a
new heart and new
brain before I can
lead this nation.

I will be the first
Latin President.
The first thing I’ll
do is raise the wages
of the farm workers
and tax the rich.
