[hometext] => this is about living in a Mexican ghetto ( barrio )......you'd have to have lived it yourself to fully understand.
[bodytext] => Pobre Mijo Is all they can say Livin it for La Raza Loca But they do it all in the wrong way. " Mi Vida Loca " Is what he writes in his letters From behind the bars His tattoos hide all his heart's scars. This ' Vato Loco ' is only 16 Hooked on chronic Rollin' with a gang Pobre Mijo, es Paulito This cliqua has no name but Shame. Introducin' los ninos To La Raza, Vida Loca Doin' drive by's and Snortin coca. You see, Paulito's older brother is in prison Everyone in East Los practically worships him But they don't know that this cliqua is killing him And writes his death wish. It will soon be all too late En Mi Barrio, you only love What you can hate. His mama still tries to open her son's eyes Because the way a man lives is the way a man dies. But she couldn't save her sons From their Gangsta Glorified Life Beacuse for two down and out thugs The love of money cut's like a knife. We say it's " Por La Raza." But all we're doing is killing ourselves Children cry, Men die We created this own hell. And the cycle just continues These kids don't understand That the words " Mi Vida Loca " Take out the soul in a man. Pobre Mijo.............. Is what they say As they look at his death perfectness On his burial day If only he lived a little longer while He'd understand.........that " La Raza, Vida Loca " Is just another word for Suicidal. (Here's the meanings of the spanish words used in this poem......................) Pobre Mijo : Poor boy / son La Raza Loca : The Crazy Life / Culture Mi Vida Loca : My Crazy Life Paulito : little Paul Cliqua : Clique / Gang Vato Loco : Crazy Thug / Guy los Ninos : The Children Coca : Cocaine En Mi Barrio: In My Neighborhood / Ghetto " Por la Raza " : For The Life / Culture (sorry for the length of this ) [comments] => 3 [counter] => 196 [topic] => 48 [informant] => Alina [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
