Below The Sierra





Majestic Sierra de Tepoztlán,
twenty million years in the making
openly embracing indigenas, conquistadores, 
now faces acquisitive globalist undertakings.

Old man volcano Popocatepetl
fumes, he threatens to all-out blow;
the Earth may shake and rattle and slide,
ashes rain down and lava flow.

These mountains will as always survive,
Nature, stirred and flushed, will recover,
human hands will re-build from ruins once more,
this land will remain on guard, abiding forever.
