Hispanic
Trying to fit in a culture that I don't belong.
A culture that I learned from home but not exactly mine.
I look like them but can't communicate with them.
Do I need to force myself to feel myself.
Spain was a pain.

Gas
The most important thing in the world.
mankind cannot survive without releasing a mass.
the smell can be irritating and toxic.
you can lit it up and it will explode.
flatulence that is flatus.

Life
It is another year and another life.
suspenseful and unpredictable cycle of life,
life is fair to someone but unfair to someone else.
life is sweet to the person beside you and a bitter taste for you.
almost a perfect life but is there's such thing?
life can be persistent and accumulating.

99 Percent
I am the 99%.
The movement is not dead it will revive to show the world how the American middle class and the poor will be heard again.
The homeless that I see everyday at Pine Street Inn,
The Hispanics selling flowers on the streets of Somerville and
Route 16.
Route 16.
We are the 99%.
When the colored middle class are discriminated with higher mortgages payments compared to the majority.
We are the 99%!
When the American people bailed out the American banks but the American middle class cannot even borrow money to pay off some of our debts.
We are the 99%.
We need laws to prevent the banks from getting away with Greed and prosecute the people who caused the American Great Recession.
We are the 99%.
The Government cannot even extend the payroll tax for another year to save American families a few almighty dollars.
We are the 99%

The Last Quarter Storm of 2011
The movement continues all over the world.
humanity has erupted like we never seen before. while the majority struggles and the few continue to prosper.
why is greed so hard to be reach for all of us?
you have to be born with a silver spoon to continue to be nourish with prosperity.
the majority work so hard but still being ridicule for the achievements they
accomplished.
the last storm for a chance for humanity to prosper and to fill those empty stomachs.

1986 Filipino People Power
The Avenue of the heroes.
The Filipinos had demonstrated the most powerful way to overthrow a corrupt government of the Philippines.
The People Power revolution of 1986 in Edsa was the awakening of the voice of the people that was been dormant for almost 25 years.
I marched on that day of eruption and shouted freedom and democracy that shattered the gates of Malacanang and created a domino effect all over the world.
The Koreans followed us like a cat that forgot to bring a copier.
The Tiananmen student uprising was a success with bloody mary on the side.
The Iron curtain was washed but never to be hang again.
The Filipinos had achieved the extraordinary event of a life time but that achievement can be exploited and can be use has a weapon of mass destruction.
The People Power revolution was the lava that came from Malacanang.
Perhaps Edsa Dos will be the last of the lava flow
