Perception You call me naïve because you think I am a child, but how could this be when I’ve lived a life you could never conceive. I fight the unending battle of lost dreams and no hope. Not many travel the road I’ve been and survive to tell the tale of all the unholy suffering and loss. You call me a fool because I believe in peace because just like Zapata and Chavez, I have a dream and like King I am willing to die for what I believe in to show the world the other side, which is always shadowed by perceptions and unfair stereotypes. You call me a cholo, a nuisance to society, is it because of the way I speak or the way I handle myself? Could it have anything to do with my being a first generation Mexican-American or maybe you just judge me because of the mistakes of my childhood and the file you read. A well-known saying says never judge a book by its cover because it’s the inside that matters. We’ve all been through so much at one time or another where we just feel like this is the end and you feel like throwing in the towel. There’s no mistaking that the easy way out, that’s what so many do because they lack the strength to carry on. It’s hard everywhere, but anything is possible. Whatever life brings us though the ups and downs, bumps in the road, well be all right. “Dios cuida a los que crean en el” (God takes care of the ones who in Him believe.) Societys changing, time waits for no man if you find something to believe in, one single ray of hope that’s all we need, one person to believe in us and one person to change what society thinks of us, and maybe that will change what they see when they see us. -Eddie, San Bernardino
