I am poem

I am from the 510 ,
East Oakland to be exact,
I am from a city where all you hear is pop pop,
& people crying out for help
I am from the dubbz where everywhere you turn there's tagging all around
From the 20's to the hunnits people be reppin' it with pride
Yeah,I'm from Oakland where the youngsters have dreams & are ready to succeed
When you think about the town don't judge it by the things you see or hear,
Just think of it as the city of hopes & dreams

El Dia De Los Muertos Poem

Joshua,
I'm waiting for the moment you come back
I know you looking down at us with your beautiful smile
Yeah,that one smile of yours that use to make my day
When you come back I'm sure you'll be wearing your hoodie,saggy jeans,& your rosary
Ha ha,remember how I always use to try to take your rosary away ?
Yeah those were the times
I miss you so much !
If tears would bring you back I would cry a river for you,
just to see you again
I'll never regret meeting you matter of fact
I consider myself lucky for getting a chance to know you
May 24th was the last day I talked to you
May 25th was the day they pronounced you dead in the news
I broke out crying I couldn't believe it & I still can't believe it
But I guess god needed another angel
"Everything is going to be OK"
That's what you would always tell me to make me feel better
Now all that makes me feel good is remembering those unforgettable crazy moments we spent together
Everyone misses you & loves you
We'll never forget about you
Save us a spot in heaven we'll soon be up there with you
