The Puerto Rican Literature Project

we are a people

who love to love 

we are loving

lovers who love

to love respect, 

the best intentions

of friendship,

and we judge from

the moment on, no

matter who you are,

and, if we find

sincere smiles,

we can be friends,

and, if we have a

drink together,

we can be brothers,

on the spot, no

matter who you are,

and we have a lot

of black & white

& yellow & red

people whom we

befriend, we're

ready to love

with you, that's

why we

say, let there

be no prejudice,

on race, color is

generally color-blind

with us, that's our

contribution, all

the colors are tied

to our one,

but we must fight

the bad intentions,

we must respect

each other's values,

but guess what,

we're not the only ones,

and we offer what your

love has taught us,

and what you're worth

in our self-respect,

we are a people

who love to love

who are loving

lovers who love 

to love respect.
