MEXICAN STANDOFF                  In the chaos of my formative years of adolescence                  I was taught that the gain of the material is the true goal                  Thus I’ve strived long and hard toward such end to aspire                  Toward pleasures of the peripheral at the price of my soul                  And though I’ve habitually craved the seemingly easy lot                  Of the wealthy capitalistic deceitful snake-oil charmer                  I’ve somehow been unable to match the merry heart                  Of the poor and itinerant Mexican dirt farmer             Books       Songs       Essays       Poems Click Here to eMail the Author Copyright © August 20th, 2003 by Richard Aberdeen.
