Shadows

If you only knew the shadows that lurk
that enravel each wall
It’s the beauty of things
How they shine a false light
Giving a sense of false hope
through this night.

From this shadow emerges something familiar
yet so different
not even remotely the same as before.

The streets which you walked through
show more than before,
Beware of your steps
you are not in your same neighborhood anymore.

Don’t be frightened of these shadows
They’re not all that bad
But it’s up to you if you let them through.

Shine that light brightly while you still can
For there will be a time when that foco you hang
will not work anymore.

The shadows you faintly know
but look closer
you might frighten yourself
but look closer
I DARE YOU!

What do you think? Do you know the nature of these shadows?
Do you know where they belong?

I think you missed the funeral
It was a great scene
No one cried, no one laughed
It was pure bliss
I think their reign has begun.

El reir

Me rió, no de Ti,
pero de lo que hay de insinuar
que en el casco ya no queda nada que protejer…

There’s a girl in my life

There’s a girl in my life

she always amazes me

her smile takes me to a whole new dimension

Whenever I see her, my heart skips a beat

she makes me float to the heavens

and makes me feel like a king

But when see into her eyes

I see her whole world, how it crumbles apart

I wish I could help her..

But I cannot move, I can’t say anything

my lips will not move

i’m frozen and frightened

Will the wrong words come out?

Will she understand, that I am next to her?

that I want to help in her fight?

Does she know that she

is the most beautiful person in the universe?

that there is a person out there

who was willing to give up His life…

that person was Jesus..

I know she knows that

But does she know… that I

will be willing to take a bullet for her

because I love her so dearly..

Does she know that I will never harm her?

that I want the best for her?

I want someone getle, someone noble

someone caring and understanding

for her

It doesn’t really matter,

I really don’t mind

If she falls in love with another guy

I just hope that he loves her just as much as I do

She does not know it

I love her to Death…

but as most fairytales..

it’s just what it sounds like

She will never know…

that I love her, Oh! How I love her!

And if my love where to stumble upon this page..

take it as you wish…

but know that I will love you no matter what you do

and that I am a friend that is willing to listen to all the problems you have

or to just talk about something… say music, school, or nothing at all..

Just wanted to add.. if my love is happy… so am I!

God Bless You, my love… you know who u are!!!

 

Gentrification of El Monte City

El Monte has long been inhibited by low-income families. However, it seems that there is a movement that is trying to push away this low-income residents away from this city. How can they accomplish this? Through guns? Robberies? Threats? NO!!! They want to accomplish this by tearing down older houses/living units and replacing them with units such as McMansion condos which are too expensive for the majority of the residents to purchase. Therefore, they must move to other places were it is more isolated and housing/renting prices are lower.

Furthermore, there is definitely a problem with overpopulation. According to the census there is 4.16 people per household in El Monte. However, the reality is that this number is greater because there are those who do not report to the census. In addition this number which is more like 6 people per household unit should be compared to the fact that most of the living units are 1 or 2 bedroom apts.

Instead of creating better housing accommodations for its citizens, El Monte, or whoever is in charge of the land development, has made the wrong decision in building condominiums instead of building apartment units. Apartment units in this case would clearly be more beneficial to the residents of the El Monte Community because it would house them better. However, X people who are in charge of making this decision for El Monte are more concerned in trying to make more profit. How? By building up the property value of housing in El Monte by building expensive and luxurious looking units in the middle of a “brought-down” community. At what cost do they do this? At the cost of the residents, of course! The residents of El Monte are the ones that are paying the consequences for this. Once again I emphasize the fact that because the residents can no longer afford the housing units in El Monte, they are forced outside of the city.

I hate to think of what become of El Monte in 20 years, or maybe even 10 years, if this progress continues. I’ve been living in El Monte now for 11 years and in the same place and the apartment unit price has increased somewhat for us, but we are the exception. I’ve seen as the years have progressed more and more people have had to move out because they simply could not afford it. Most of them now live in places such as San Bernardino or Riverside where housing prices are cheaper. There exists only a small percent of people who have still remained in El Monte, but slowly this number is dwindling down. El Monte will probably be inhibited by new people that I won’t even recognize. It will turn into a different culture.

ARGH!!! Why can’t people think about what they do? C’MON!!! NOBODY lives in those McMansion CONDOS!!! I’ve passed through them and they’re empty… EMPTY!!! why? nobody can afford them…. -_-” If they were to have built apartament units it can almost be secured that they will have been … wait almost? … no absolutely secure that they will have been inhibited and been of more use to the residents of El Monte.

Now’s your turn! What do you think of all this? Do you agree or disagree? WHY? What should be done?

Throw me a cookie!!!

Throw me a cookie..
and make it a green one…

 

a green one full of luscious thorns and ashes…

 

a cookie filled with your desires…
greed and wants unfulfilled…
hidden within that mask….
that mask so gruesome….

 

make it quick, and make it fast…
I don’t have all day… so do it NOW!!!

 

rashly, smoothly, I don’t care!!!
just do it it now, with no regrets!!!

 

live a life of self-respect
ignore the comments from around.

 

make each second last a lifetime
and be thankful for what you already have

 

So throw that cookie & throw it now!!!
for that one cookie will make you FAT!!!
It will make your life a living hell…
and enrapture you with insanity!!!

El vacio dentro de mi

Lo que conocemos hoy se desaparece en un momento

No hay nada eterno en este mundo mas que el alma ardiente en nosotros.

Somos el viento andante que se desvanece en un dado momento.

No se puede proclamar lo que ha de pasar, lo que a de ser.

Es la fe que hay algo en el mas alla que nos sostiene y no da la razon de existir.

No se puede esconder este vacio dentro de nuestro ser.

Este vacio necesita ser lleno con algo….

pero que es este “algo”…

dinero? estudios? drogas? sexo?

que es?

no es difinido….

La marea sube ya

No pertenezco aqui
Yo nunca vi esto en mi caminar
La sangre en la pared y el suelo lleno de gis
Se dificulta
Nunca mire el contragolpe cuando la marea sube ya

No puedo recordar
Cuando se sentia bien todo antes
Mi boca se cierra y mis ojos sellados firmamente con control

‘tonces recuerdo en lo interior

Encuentro un lugar oscuro, infernio que no quiere pasar ya jamas
de una manera tendre que parar este dolor

Si mi espiritu no puede dar mas
Toma lo pa’tras
No hay razon mas para vivir (existir)
