DREAM ACT
I came to U.S
From the New Spain
They said you got to pass your Cahsee man
You're Hispanic like them
And so we all got to work hard
I passed all the things they told me I needed
I graduated this year
And I'm still waiting for this
I know I got to wait just like everyone
Just dear president dont forget about me
You better pass the California exam
You better pass all these things man
They told you to do
And is the dream act
What brings me up
What makes me kinda different than anyone
I almost was killed in Mexico
When my uncle passed away
By these cruel enemies
That whom they're we dont know yet
I took a decision to stay in the U.S
If I come back there
My head in the floor could lay
I hope this war some day will end
I hope someday the law could pass my name
I didn't had no choice for real
Than staying here and not in any other place
Someday I'll show this nation
That I am more than my race
That I didn't have other chance
But life made this soul
One more special dreamer
The one unique in the U.S.

Hello my name is Jonatan Vega as you all see I love poetry.My favorite languages are Spanish,French,English and some Italian,but my first language is Spanish.I live in US but I am from México.I am a college student at American River college in Sacramento,CA.I consider myself as very talented.I am very confident.I am kinda quiet,but when you get to know me I am amazing.I consider defining what the soul feels is art:poetry.I am a painful poet most of the time,but I could write about everything when I put that objective in my mind.I love love for what it is.i am a amazing person if you get to talk to me Some of My work focuses on what I see as the repression of women by men. This often takes the form of personal insults directed at men in general Love,Heartbreak.life changed my writing by helping me to lose my former models, and reach a more dramatic lyricism, my style now showed more realism than before.Recurring themes in my work include love,hearbreak,humanism, nature, alienation,loss, love, pain, growth, hope,death, family, sorrow, women’s issues, and violence.Although my portrayal of men is ironic and critical,I felt a strong need for love, and Im able to express the tension and passion these ambivalent feelings in poetry both simple and deeply sensual, expressing an original note in erotic poetry in a sensitive manner. .
