Most of All By Juan Sanchez Most of All As they grow, they sit attached to an umbilical cord for nine months. But they’re not wanted so they are killed at once. They were created in a passionate love. Now they await their death in a puddle of blood. These creations don’t mean to bother. So that doesn’t give you the right to have them slaughtered. I wonder what goes through your head. At first you wanted them, and now you want them dead. What destiny is there to follow if you don’t give them a choice? After you kill them, long after there death, you’ll still hear there voice. Your heart will hear your baby crying out, “Mama!” You’ll suffer more after they are dead with a great deal of karma. Killing ain’t always the solution. You gotta believe and don’t let your bad thoughts win in this confusion. You gotta fight for what’s right Have faith in God and he’ll show you the light. Remove the blur that’s covering your sight, and begin to see. No one should have the right to say who dies, but their destiny. I thank my parents even though we didn’t have money.

Maybe my absurd and dark tears do not let me see yet, and my Spanish words can not help me clear them. I can not see, but I can hear. I am listening with new and warm words, nevertheless, still confused, still crying on my bed. The time has passed. I begin to feel better. I do not know the reason. Like an arrow, an affectionate feeling through my mind that I can not quite see, but I always feel. And I feel love. My family is with me, And my Mexican friends will never forget me. It is now that I know, that my memories are not in the cool things that I watch. My prized memories are, thank God, fixed in my intense heart. I do not cry anymore on my bed.

Love is what humans like to feel and receive from others, but love comes with its hurt, and with its lust. Love is all we desire; love makes one's world go round. It stings like a bee out of its hive. It makes you realize that it was air you were inhaling all your life. It's the natural high and the natural low.
