JOB


I really need a job though I really need a good job There's nothing impossible for me But right now the only option the people like me is McDonalds Mexicans like me Colombians like me Cubans like me Peruvians like me Argentinians like me and some Spanish like me Working in a restaurant they say is our destiny to do Some being Americans Some not being Americans Why don't you get a better job the Americans says every day When we have been cleaning up the floors Cooking listening to the rudest managers Some people complain what they already have I demand for a good social security that I need to have Living in a crazy world I know the difference of the school and the job What is to live in peace and in a country without house Humble People like me need a good social to have a good job To publish a book in the internet To pay taxes But we do pay them And without this we still work We still search the way to get jobs We still go to get the job We still got the job How can we get a solution for this? And we still need the job For ourselves For our families For the need of some other people we could help sometimes For our sickness For our health For our souls For knowledge and love We are able to work Where is the job without impediments of a good social When I still pay my taxes If I was born ready Where's the job?

Jonatanvega

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. .
