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.
