Luis Alberto Ramirez I am


I am the son of Perla.

A woman who belongs to water that runs on land.

 

I am the son of the Rios family.

An identification that holds many concealed pearls.

 

I am the son of George.

A man who breaks pearls, and urinates in the rivers.

 

I am the son of the Ramirez family.

A title of both honor and work.

 

I am the son of Juan.

A man who puts on a facade when emotions are being revealed.

 

I try to be the son of the Macias family.

But in doing so I only get stared and glared at.

 

I am the son of God.

A man who is not a man, but is more man then mankind.

 

I am the son of the oldest pearl that God placed in a river,

Which has been urinated by the name George, but

Lifted out of the water by the name Juan, though dulled,

By the queer Macias family

.

I am Luis Alberto Ramirez.

The Eldest child.
