In Pedro Pietri's "Puerto Rican Obituary," what seems to be the poet's solution to that community?

In the 1973 anti-imperialist poem "Puerto Rican Obituary",
by Pedro Pietri, treats a very delicate topic in Puerto Rican culture, which is national
identity. The main idea that Pietri contends in the poem (under his perspective as an
anti-imperialist) is that the Puerto Rican immigrants that moved to New York during the
big wave that began in the mid 1960's basically followed the wrong dream: One that was
fed to them via the Americanization of the media which presented the US as a form of
paradise that would automatically provide them with a better life. This is what coined
the term "Nuyoricans": Puerto Rican immigrants which located in New York as their
preferred location.

Through his point of view, he offers
that Puerto Ricans should quit chasing the American Dream because it does not include
Hispanics, nor blacks, nor Asians. The American Dream belongs uniquely to the white
American. Instead, Pietri suggests, why not make it better being who you are an making
your country a better place. In his own words:

If only they
had turned off the
television
and tune into their own imaginations
If only
they
had used the white supremacy bibles
for toilet paper
purpose
and make their latino souls
the only religion of their
race
If only they
had return to the definition of the
sun
after the first mental snowstorm
on the summer of their
senses

Therefore, Pietri's
solution is to turn to national identity and self-pride as the way to truly fin what
would make life worth living. No more chasing water-falls nor the dreams of others. 
Accept who you are, embrace yourself, and make the best of what you are-not what others
expect you to be.
