Mago Orona - Celestial Girl mural, Douglas Elementary School, El PasoThey say: my sister's baby was born without a brain,
My neighbor's baby has a fused skull,
My friend is missing a limb
Heart defects in kids are rampant
My young friend has a scarred head
brain tumors at 21
3 dead at a school from cancer behind the eyes
It is allergies they say
As their noses bleed
As the dust stirs in the heavy wind
and lungs find it difficult to breath
The children are born with rashes
Skin with lumps and bumps
bones with cancers
Don't drink the water a young mother is told
Don't breathe the air, an elder is told
Don't touch the dust, a child is told.
Don't touch the dust.
