Jose Coyote Pérez - "I Am Nature" July 2002
Description
This poem written in July 2002 by Jose Coyote Pérez explains migrant farming in a contrasting way. Pérez expresses that he feels like he is nature/the earth because of his good work always being taken advantage of. "Human beings are killing me/even though I serve them so much..." With this being written in July, it is safe to say that the location he was in was having elevated temperatures making it even more challenging for him to work. Yet, Pérez, just like numerous other migrant workers do not have the choice whether to work or not because they are essential workers, just as nature has no choice to give humans what they need because it is essential as well.
