the pain he had to endure is unexplainable
unimaginable to those who never felt it
not knowing the risk he took
because no one didn't bother to tell him
unthought of the decision he
then needed to make
if only he knew of the tears
that was shed
why is he not eating?
why is he feeling the way he is feeling?
why when he told him, he had to beat him?
he said that he loved him as a son
and together, they would form a father and son bond
he say he didn't want him
he also stated that he wanted him dead
he continue to say those things to him
he puts a gun to his head
but in the midst of all the confusion
he remember the tender nudge of his newborn
he heard the kick
then he thought of him all the lies and misleads
he thought of his baby 1st
he didn't want this
but this is reality
he chose
he will never have to see him as far as
he should know
he had a son not for anyone but himself
he wanted his father to die for all sorrows and pains
he caused him
his baby and him will live their lives
through prosperity
because he is not who his dad thought
he was
his life won't live through the eyes of his father
this is his 1st son
he either loves him or leave him alone
in case dad forgot, this is your grandson
his son, his legacy
the new world in which they'll create
without the presence and existence of abuelo
the man he could've show him to be
he is his father-his 1st born
determine to end the vicious cycle of violent tradition of beatings
he'll be alright being both dad and granddad
