The Family From Mexico City
There’s a family
In Mexico City
Loud and Proud
And All So Pretty
There’s the mother
Coatlicue
Like Mother earth
She wears feathers that sway
There are children
In Mexico City
Coyolxauhqui and brothers
They’re so pretty
They’re popular at school
Worshipped like gods
They’re distant from Mom
Which is rather odd
Mother is pregnant
Siblings are mad
Mom is expecting
A child she had
Huitzilopochtli is the name of the boy
He is Mama’s favorite
The siblings are mad
How dare she pick favorites?
Huitzilopochtli grows old
He dances cumbia at school dances
He makes tamales for Christmas
He’s making advances
Coyolxauhqui and co are upset
That their baby brother is beloved
Not only that
But his father unloved
How dare Coatlicue have an affair?
With a feathery man?
The siblings disown Mom
They leave without plan
Mother is hurt
She gently weeps
She would’ve pulled out her sandal
Instead, Huitzilopochtli creeps
How dare they hurt my Mama?
They’re got to pay
I’m getting revenge
I’m getting it today
Huitzilopochtli’s siblings have social media
They post all the time
He shows the terrible things they say
And all their crimes
The siblings lose their jobs
And some friends
It feels like being beheaded
It never ends
Coyolxauhqui and co
Conspire and plan
They jump their little brother
And beat him with their bare hands
Huitzilopochtli, injured and hurt
Is rushed to a hospital
Where people donate blood
He’s saved from that pickle
He’s alive in, Mexico City
He urges people to donate blood
He wants them to save lives
Huitzilopochtli is a cool bud
