The Story of Juan

by Viridiana   Jun 21, 2007


This is the story of Juan the boy
that nobody loved
because in the streets he grew,
looking for love under the sun.
His Mother abandoned him
His father abused him
His house was an alley
His bed a torned up box

Juan asked for love and
the world denned it
Juan asked for honor and
the world gave him dishonor
Juan asked for forgivness and
the world gave him hurt
He asked and asked
but the world never listened.
He only wanted to play under the sun,
He only wanted to dream and to be loved,
fly and sing
but the world forgot about him.

Juan's pain was so imense that one day his heart stopped.
So imense was his pain that one day his pain
and sadness went away.
He closed his eyes
never to see light again
