A Vida Loca

A Vida Loca

Why do people live a vida loca? Maybe they didn't
have a good guidance, or maybe they just picked 
the wrong kind of friends.

It could be that they think - they got it all together
and to them nothing else matters. They forget their 
famlies and everything - for a vida loca is their only 
dream.

A vida loca, you can find anywhere. Don't fall in that
trap, or you may never get out of there. A lot of kids
live la vida loca. They think of that life as peaches
and cream.

In a vida loca you can find everything - from sex to drugs
and pleasures to fulfill your fantasy dreams, but that's all
they are - fantasy dreams.

Wake up, wake up, before it's too late. come back to reality
or your fantasy dreams will become a nightmare of broken 
dreams...

Richard D Seal October 26, 2013 at 9:16 PM I remember those days Lucy, though no drugs or alcohol , music, girls, fast cars and some footloose travelling were enough adrenaline for me, Great poem of a warning nature. Take care, Richard

Demetrios Trifiatis October 26, 2013 at 1:53 PM To live a "Vida Loca" is not to live at all for how can one live when ignores what life is in the first place? Excellent message!
