La Operacíon

Can you hear
The silent sobs of
Babies crying?
A generation lost

Mass genocide of our future
They talk in whisssss-pers
No one knows them
Hundreds of thousands of
Singers, writers, teachers, doctors, politicians, poets
Madres, padres, hermanas, amantes y amistades

Look
Into their faces
40 years of women robbed
40 years of girls destroyed
40 years of bodies scarred
40 years of memory loss

Doctors on salary
Preying on los pobres
Prescribing sterilization for the poor
Carving up innocent wombs
Praying that mothers
Never learn of their
Crimes against humanity

Generations of Boricuas gone
Generations of Puertorriqueños wiped out
Generations lost with the swift swipe
of tainted scalpels

Look to your left
Look to your right
We are here

The voices of the living
The minds of the thinking
The spirits of a new collective
It is through us that
The souls of these unborn children
Survive
