The
poem En La Brecha by Jose de Diego,
is a poem of empowerment for one to fight for something that they want with
anger and honor. This poem is written in Spanish and was created to advocate to his people to fight to become
an independent country, by all means necessary. It is also a confessional poem
to the Puerto Rican culture. Jose de Diego, is confessing how he feels his
people should act upon this issue and encourages them to arise, to return, and
resist. The rhyme scheme is (a, bb, aa, bb, a) and he uses lots of
metaphors and similes. Jose de Diego describes a person’s anger to be like a
rain storm to emphasize the rage he wants his people to obtain. Also he leads
an example of how his people must fight back with power by comparing it to the roaring
of a beast.
