lyrics

Latitude and Longitude

Resist assuming anything about anyone
Resist making decisions for others without asking them what they want
Resist speaking for others when they can speak for themselves
Speak for others when they cannot speak
because they are being excluded or are not present in the conversation,
or are being made invisible.

Question the invisibility of a group or an individual.
Question the silence.
Include the silence as part of the speech of the group or individual resisting otherness.

Use your five senses in knowing and underlining difficult issues
and their absence.
Know that only the other
can understand
the other fully.

Give all the opportunity to ally with the other on their own perspective
Always be kind even as you disagree
Respect is free,
and can be given away in large quantities
without hurting any individual.
You cannot respect anyone too much.

O, longitude and latitude of loss.
O, longitude and latitude of life.
Of sacrifice.
Of selflessness.

O, longitude and latitude of humanity.

Have you measured the time it takes for fruit to reach the worth of indispensibility?
You invented a key to Pandora's Box.
Only it's no longer Pandora.

She is now Maria.
Maria de musica
Maria de nada
Maria de limpia
Maria de ayuda
She is now Maria Mary.

O, longitude and latitude of loss.
When will you understand?

You were not placed for intimacy.
But you still need it.

Have you questioned the Sun about its unforgiving scars?
Do you know the children of loss?
Who will teach them?
