My America -vs- Your America
I see the fun
I see the guns
You see the guns
But you don't see the fun...
You see the struggle
We just see the hustle
I love the high rise
You like the big houses
Your platinum and gas credit cards
Our bankrolls come in wars
U wanna gamble in Vegas
I rather shoot the 6's and 8's in the hallway
U take the time to figure us out
We try to see what you are really about
1st and 15th everybody I know happy
My CHA (Chicago Housing Authority) -vs- Your real estate
My America -vs- Your America
Am I an American?
Am I an American because I am free to see all the city lights shining among the people?
Am I an American because I bear witness to all the drugs on the street and all of their patrons?
Am I an American because I am a survivor of the terrorist attacks and was around to see it happen?
Am I an American because i was born in the United States, or have been afforded the opportunity to cross the border?
Am I an American because I speak English and Spanish alike?
Am I an American because I have toe freedom of the press to hear Bush say we are safe?
Am I an American because i smell spring coming in the morning sun or if I hear gunshots at night?
What really makes an American?
What I really think makes an American is someone who is truly happy with who they really are.

Even in our sleep pain that cannot forget Falls drop by drop upon the heart Until in our own despair Against our will Comes wisdom Through the awful grace of God. Escalus
About Me
- Mr. Boston
- I am now a third year teacher. Before I moved to Chicago I worked in juvenile rehabilitation schools, a suburban school, and was a volunteer teacher for a summer in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. I went to Michigan State University. My students think I look like Mr Boston. This really pisses me off.
What we do for ourselves dies with us.
What we do for others and the world remains and is eternal.
