Taino blood was mixed with sangre from Spain
How native island people changed and then became
Ancestors genes that flowed inside African slave vein
Arawak people eventually would never be the same

Currently known as boricua from island of enchantment
Poeterican lies on a hammock between palm trees
Writing poetry in a scenic encampment
Wearing a straw beret composing what he sees

Scripting poems recalling the European invasion
Columbus's Nina, the Pinta and Santa Maria arrive
Historic poetry describing the birth of a nation
Barely leaving enough natives to survive
