We Have the Power
There has been much trouble in the Latin American countries since the beginning of its colonial occupation, and its struggle to free itself. However, now that we are free of our colonial oppressors we can take the power into our own hands and run our own countries. we are longer under the thumb of the European powers, we are our own power and while we are influenced by countries other than our own we take that influence mix it with our culture and create something that is new and quintessentially our own. We are no longer a country whose power is held by the men who control the land, now the people, the common industrial worker, the middle class, are in charge. We no longer fear and hate our people who are darker, we embrace them and their culture. Now is the time where we finally see that we are all one people, that skin color does not divide us, and that we should all work together for the benefit of our great nation. Because we have the power.
