Blanco has written extensively about discovering his identity in the United States, and President Obama said his work celebrates "our nation's great diversity."

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD
OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD

The Great Diversity
How cutting edge How cutting edge How cutting edge
How cutting edge How cutting edge How cutting edge

How daring
What a breath of fresh air
Oh what courage
Oh how he took that dare

To be proud of being Latino
And proud of being gay
And proud of speaking out
On such a wonderful day

On the swearing in of a president
Who manipulates and steals
Oh my God How cutting edge
What courage it took to face the real

Of Brian Terry's death
And Guns shipped to drug cartels
Oh my God How cutting edge
Oh yes oh my how wonderful and swell

How refreshing to find some one
On such a day
Who won't bother us about the debt
And how our children's children will have to pay

Who will praise our nations strength
And will openly exemplify being diverse
Who loves the precious precious children
And wouldn't parade an agenda in on a hearse

To rob law abiding citizens of their legal rights
To protect themselves from crime or tyranny
And treat our Constitution and the 2nd Amendment
As if it was some bump in the road technicality

One day real men with truth in their words
Will rise up and call it out in open light
About what are our great freedoms
For which so many have had to fight

On so many levels and so many days
Some have even had to bleed and die
Even as lesser men have cat called behind them
And told lie after lie after lie

One day we'll have a real president
And not some snot nosed arrogant twit
Who thinks because the press covers for him
He can do anything and get away with it

One day a poet given the opportunity
Would step up and with a pair roll the dice
Instead of middle of the road drop a load
And spew out something all stupid

Syrupy and Nice
