Hamhocks Chitlins and Black Eyed Peas

Gringos were told, borders patrolled, Mexicans bold, lash at the bags full of cash, Men in dark suits, dance in pursuit of rewards that would settle a score. The Matador prays in dark corridors alongside black frocked priests, prayers to beseech and tame the beast he is facing. Keroac ruled the road proving the nation adverb full of action, put to test, jazz and women did the rest, mollify what they knew best, Give the people what they need to hear, A tinge of truth mixed with fear, to foil their perceptions Muddy the clear, danger lurks, all too near.
