IMAGINE IT IS GAZA
Seeing a burnt image of a city destroyed
I imagined it was an Gaza update
I saw some celebrities crying on TV
Wondering what the future holds
Never mind,
If it were Gaza, it doesn’t matter
Imagine LA is Gaza!
The areal image is so similar.

aqui mi dama
dio un paso al frente
en la a lo mas
otro lugar, mi dama
mi dama
mi dama
amar
to be loved

mi dama
amar por ti
Here my lady
took a step forward
in the most
other place, my lady
my lady
my lady
to love

Some people love me
some can't stand it
when I'm happy
it's a draw back
some adore me

Vive la difference
Vive la différence
couples complement each other
balancing the scales
one will play the jokester
clown and storyteller
the other acts as sidekick
filling in if there are gaps
they juggle and finesse their roles
managing an equilibrium
thus the introvert and extrovert
weave their life in harmony
AP: Honorable Mention 2025

Since it already exists
Why does Mr. Macron resist
Simply recognize France’s Palestinian revolution
Forget the ‘two-state Middle East solution’

Hear ya Say ooh-lah la, lag lag lag la
A deceitful person is a awful character
Dare I say who
to which describes such a charter
who is this that
shares such traits
Spoken as evil and
In such a debates
Calm the shores
When clouds bring rain
She said she did it
If I am to believe such things
the lines are drawn with
a perfected mention
Stand down Bouis'
Stand at attention
Who is the ah-soothing figure

LA GORDITA SERRANO
Estos son los cuentos
Que se abarca por los vientos
De La Gordita Serrano
En una noche de Verano!
Que día de aventura
Te lo contaré sin añadidura!
El cuento de su boda será la que perdura
Como Tampiqueña de estatura!
Ay, como lo siento
Por La Gordita La De Serrano
Pero NO por su esposo El Guanaco Poblano
El Cuento es un bocadillo
Que pica

I am living la vida loca
I am living la vida loca
Every single day here on earth
Also I am already used to that
I enjoy living every single day
La vida loca
Yes I am having a busy life
That is la vida loca
Every day first thing in the morning
When I wake up
I pray for my Father
I thank my father
For keeping me alive today
Also

This that and the other
Essential to ones success
the delivery of performance
the means to an end
the beginning of the process
Prompting an applied behavior
to encourage the desired success
In a professional relationship
No professional stumbling
No conflicting interest
Practical evaluation
Let our collaborations begin
In decisive measurements
the sound moves to inspire
It's from desire
the desire to be best
Your way is my way
We collaborate to

Vive La Difference
After all these years
I'm the same as I ever was
still a child at heart
(plus some older parts)
I've not changed because
what was important to me then
is also true today
nothing and no one
will ever sway my way
yet unlike so many
who know not their station
and only identify themselves
by their occupation
I'm aware of who I am
it determines what I

“No Man Is An Island”
but that was before smart phones
To text and to tweet
technology’s drones
With ear buds in place
these Stepford’s march on
Virtually connecting
— to what’s already gone

a land of dying sonnet
in snail-pace schizoid Land of the Dying
they sometimes bake schnapps biscuits
then throw them to black cat eyeing
angels appear asking “what about fiscus ?”
they reply “we care not, passings near
roof leaks, grass not so glitter green
new shoots will bloom, Shangri-La we hear!”
“all acts account to day of goodbyes, clean
fix broken

La Voix
I breath warmly in doors
and breath coldly outside.
When the winters turn to spring
I need to be outside
there they are
to my every concern
my evasiveness is
a lesson know one
wants to learn
