Writing prompt: un pequeño ejemplo/a small example

Este era solo un pequeño ejemplo de la… maldad que hombres con poder hacen
Cometen errores
Violaciones
Robando naciones
This was just a small example of the atrocities committed around the world nations taken
at the hands of men hungry for power angry
taking taking taking more more power
Take over
Control
Possess
It’s all a game
This is just a small example of why I decided to form this movement warriors, soldiers,
when will they say…
when will they see
that instead of build they destroyed community,
cultivating
Acculturating
Integrating
Democracy
Such hypocrisy
Socialism
Idealism
power
White
Black
This is just a small example of the injustices that still exist.
Solo un pequeño ejemplo de la injusticia que existe
Nuestra gente le han vendido un sueno vacío
Un sueno que es falsa…
un amenaza
Un pequeño ejemplola cual debemos pelear, aprender y luchar
A small example that if we stay silent we have no rights no rights to complain
Speaking out
Speaking up
Silence
Silence
Silence
When we stay silent those around us are the ones who decide what is in our best interests…
Interests…
Protecting our interest
Nuestros intereses
I’m hearing voices in my head about interests
Their interests
Sus interés
In our countries
Our lands
Our women and children
Prostitution
Institution
Corruption
Their interests
Sus interés
When did we become their interest?
When did we become theirs?
Interests
Interesting…
I wonder what it would look like for someone to take them…
as their own interests.
A reversal of power
Would they understand what it feels like to belong to someone else to be controlled by others? 
Time is up!
Just a small example… un pequeño ejemplo…
