Blackamán y calibán, usando su magia para rescatar
El honor que manchó la baba de una codicia sin igual.
Mirando al mundo en technicolor, con un libreto de su
Invención filma la escena un director que habla un
Idioma que no sé yo.
Los que eran dueños no lo son ya, se han vuelto sombras
De américa. "pronto!, soon!". vea la película donde
Se pierde la identidad de un continente porque una y
Otra generación vendió a su gente.
Me enseñaron a leer y a hablar para repetir lecciones
Con qué domar mi voluntad. fue así como casi olvidé
Lo que fuí, pues al amo no le conviene la verdad;
Mago blackamán, reinventa a calibán.
