"I Am Who I Am, I Don't Know About You......."
by Mizblooze56
August 8, 2005
At 11 years old
I read that Lowell drunk;
he changed my world
forever.
He showed me
I had a voice
and, I could use
it.
18 year old neighbors
were being shoved
into open mouthed
giants of planes to travel
10,000 miles to kill
perfectly innocent farmers-
I knew it was wrong, so-
MY mouth opened
and I cried out
now, at almost 49
I still cry out-
WHY?
A Shiny silver bracelet
on my still small wrist
bares the name of a
boy from
Texas I'll never know-
KIA SVN 71.
That was the year I had
my 1st ride on the back of Wes'
Harley.
I was again changed
forever.
I hear the thunder of a
V-Twin,I turn my head
I hear the blades of a chopper
above
I still turn my eyes to the sky,
then look at my bracelet:
KIA SVN 71.
I've ridden, now,I can't.
Ah,it’s the knees still.....
I wonder:did
Manuel R. Puentes of Texas,
KIA SVN 71 even experience
the joys of
the wind? the road?
Does he know what its like to
see 50,75 bikes coming over a
hill?
or did he just experience
"the yellow man" coming through
the scuse-me-vines,
then go to black..........
We'll NEVER KNOW!
Me, when I have cake on Wednesday, my 49th
birthday, I'm going to hoist a piece to Father Sky
and ask he remember Brother
KIA SVN 71.
Manuel R. Puentes, Texas;
and ask that he have
a ride in heaven.
They've got Harleys in
Heaven, right?
(Coz,that’s where
I hope to go,when
I'm 49, oh, the 4th time around............).
Peace.
