MY ANCESTRY - MIX
By Luis Perez

I am searching for my soul and roots
my roots have been found in the rivers
and on the mountains in the island of Cuba.

Taino Indians and African slaves send the
solendor like the rain and sun,
the mixture of culture is given me
a great treasure on Earth.

Without a country, I am American,
my ancestries are many, I am sharing
the blood of a prison subculture,
not only the Pelgrims or Puritans create
America the beautiful.

I am a debtor prisoner, Oglethrope was my father,
and I became the founder of a wild land,
my blood is not only with the natives of Cuba,
but I am also the son of Savannah, Georgia.

I never was recognized but my ancestory-mix
is like God gave the birds the power of flight.
I am your own roots, because God made me a
human being, a member of your own family.

My motherland, my ancestry-mix
my blood and roots are in you and me,
look at the mountains and touch me on the
rivers. You can also see me in the sunrise.

MY ANCESTRY-MIX is in you.
