El lamento de una flor Purpura Oh mi pequeña flor purpura, El hombre de naranja te ha abrazado con la oscuridad. Escoges soledad comunal, y te encoges Disfrutando de la indefensión de la vida * Oh mi pequeña flor purpura, Una máquina tan brillante como el sol te ha pisoteado. Y ahora las abejas vuelan sobre tu belleza, Dios dado. ¿Quién se responsabilizara? * Oh mi pequeña flor purpura, Tus rasgos morados ahora débiles bajo partículas de polvo. El peso de tu martirio dobla tus hojas hacia el suelo Este dolor, por favor busca una cura * ¡Oh gente que engendra maldad y miseria! Tú que oyes este grito, deja de transitar tus carruseles. Disfruta una caminada debajo de los cielos azules Y vive en el mundo en pacífica armonía. * J. M. Vera 3/21/19

El Lamento del Cielo Ven a mí, Te miro, Te quiero, Ven a mí. * No me cubres de él, nube. El sol, de él me aferro. A  mi costado te quiero, Pronto sube a un ave. * Entre nubes el sol crea una escalera, Vuelan a tu alrededor las bestias del cielo ¡Vuela! Haz que el viento te tome de la mano Hojita, ven a mi lado, ten misericordia. *

He was small when his parents left. Had they not gone they would have protected their creation from being destroyed.             Some say that it is because the man in metal came that they fled.             Others say that they are...

The Church and Media This entry is one that comes straight from a class with Ms. Megan & Mr. Jacob.  Each student was tasked with creating a video about how the Catholic Church used media. Well...being a small class the teachers assigned us all to be in a group, two of the three members showed up. The video did not live up to the teacher's expectation, so we were reassigned to do it. The following is my favorite attempt.     Enjoy The Video!
