Ahí en esa orilla del mundo
No duerme la maquiladora
De un desperdicio en la tierra
El hijo del sol nació
Que embrullo la curandera
Con trapos y yerbas sobo
La piel de ese niño mulato
Que pluma su piel brotó
¡O que maravilla es esta!
Lo que el TLC provocó
De una raya imaginaria
De un chivi chivi colo
Que un niño de ojos de luna
Palabra de flor cantó:
�Este mundo material
Solamente es pasajero�
Flor de maíz
El cielo te esta cuidando
Llano de lumbre
La tierra que te parió
Espíritu de la tierra
Espíritu del mal
Espíritu de la suerte
Que tiene que caminar
