Barrio Dreams
I'm Always Thinking of You
Here I go dreaming again
I have always loved the
way your hair moved in
the breeze, as we cruised
on an afternoon drive.
As I remember the sweet
scent of your perfume
and your beautiful smile,
I will never forget.
Eating helados while
lying on the grass in the
park. Sweet kisses, that
will forever burn within.
Seeing the reflection of
the moon in your eyes,
as we made love. While
your, soft sighs drifted
into the night.
Caresses, full of passion,
taking us away, into a
beautiful and magical
dream.
As the cool mist of the
morning surrounds us,
I can feel your face
upon my shoulder, as
we both drift away
within the ecstasy, of
our barrio dreams.

Puppet Master 4
The Awakening of La Raza
I don't like what is going on."
Said the Puppet Master. "This
disturbs me greatly, as they seem
to be waking up from my dark
magic.
Hmm, the allure of drugs, booze,
and the wild party life, is not losing
its attraction, during the Pandemic?"
The Puppet Master mulled what had
to be done for continuing his horrific
destruction of the youth of La Raza.
"Let's see, they are not following
social distancing measures, and
as they get infected, they take the
virus home to the people they say
they love. But they are selfish
little creatures, and mostly only
think of their own gratification."
But then suddenly, the Puppet
Master frowned and let out a
groan. "What, he screamed.
They are on the verge of
discovering the key to prosperity
and happiness, even though I am
tempting them with waves of
hell's sensual lies, they still seem
to be awakening from their sleep.
No! Just as I destroyed the
knowledge of the Aztec and Maya
kingdoms, I must do the same with
the youth of La Raza.
This must not be, if they find out
their true heritage, that they are
meant to be leaders and rulers,
they will achieve great things,
and it will destroy my plans for
their complete destruction. Because,
once they realize that the gaining of
knowledge is the secret key to
success and prosperity in the world,
they will become unstoppable!"
Authors Note: Everyone must tell the
kids and teens of La Raza, that the power
to achieve their dreams, is in their hands.
The magic key is learning. Along with it
comes knowledge, understanding, and
power!

Old School Vs New Times
Work was hard in the old days
but no one complained, mainly
because money would stretch
back then and the prices of
goods were fair.
Now days, the price of almost
everything is sky high, and the
people have to budget almost
everything in order to survive.
Food back then was much better
because it was pure and fresh,
also, it was not full of fillers
and the junk that it almost takes
a dictionary just to find out
what’s in it.
Also, love was a serious matter
and even though there were
“players around,” most people
took love, relationships, and
marriage, very seriously. La Raza,
also stuck together like melted
cheese on a tortilla, and backed
each other up, as they stood
together, through all the prejudice
and discrimination of those times.
Now, our kids have an open road
to learn a good career and educate
themselves, they have opportunities
that the old school Raza never had.
Now, the time has come for Mexican
American parents and their kids to
buckle up and give education its
rightful place in our families.
The truth is our young people will
always struggle and end up scraping
the bottom of the barrel for whatever
leftovers can be found in life without
it. It is also time for all Mexican
Americans to register to vote
and press our politicians for more
educational opportunities and job
training for our kids, because without
these two things our kids will only
continue to hope in vain for success.
Our young people, should make
education a top priority along with
staying away from the bad side of life,
so that they can enjoy a success filled
life, full of happiness, and the things
they want out of life.
Also, young people please don’t forget
to respect and honor the past generations
of Mexican-Americans who with their
struggles and courage, fought adversity
in order for you to have this wonderful
opportunity. So, get an education, or a
great paying trade. By doing this you
honor all the ones who never had the
chance to study.
