Dear Enrique (R.I.P.),



My life has taken
 another sudden turn.
And only God knows
 what there is to learn
 of this next phase.
Today, I see life
 in a different way
 and from a different perspective.
I think I always have
 but never paid much attention
 to those signs in the past.
As for my lack of education
 and wanting to live fast,
 Who is to blame?
For the strong arm robberies
 and dope sales to survive.
And for my passion to gang bang,
 the misery and pain,
 calamity and misfortune,
 Who is to blame?
 NO ONE!!
Was I meant to live this way?
For that, later I shall show the
 world,
 "What a great man you've made today"

Always,
 Your son

p.s.
Thank you for your advice.
You'll understand why someday.
"Just wait" patience says.
