The Changes That Have Come Upon Us

Guillermo Bowie

And Sor Juana Ines De La Cruz
Assuming the luxury of mentioning certain names
Placed into verse by way of dreams
Today’s echoes of her works

And Sor Juana Ines De La Cruz
Introduced her feminist perspective
To the discourse of her 1680s
Criticizing certain males that were in power

Thus changing the whole country of Mexico
Constructing the basis
Of the earthly epoch
That shines so heavenly before us today

All of her feminist perspective
Extended to the twenty first century
In the body of the highest office
The good fortune of Claudia Sheinbaum

Los Cambios Que Nos Han Venido

Y la Sor Juana Ines De La Cruz
Asumiendo la lujuria de mencionar a nombres
Sor Juana en sus dias de los 1680s
Ponia en verso a traves de suenos hoy en dia los ecos de sus obras

Y la Sor Juana Ines De La Cruz
Introdujo su perspectiva feminista
Al discurso de su edad de 1680s
Criticando a los oficios varones en poder

Y de tal manera cambiando a Mexico
Planteando la fundacion
De la epoca terrenal
Que nos brinde en la celestial hoy

Toda su perspectiva feminista
Extendio al siglo XXI
En el cuerpo de la mas reservada oficina
Las buenaventuras de Claudia Sheinbaum
