Pedro made PAYMENT for a van,
OPTIONS For PROJECT PLANS were relayed.
SLOWLY going OVER instructions by American,
Warned of risk, arrangements made,
THREATENING Guards with Rifles command!
Under cover of CLOUDS shade;
DAMP, DRIZZLE, FOG, Pedro began
Dodging TANGLED FENCE barricade.
Cargo BOXES and human countraband;
He was very afraid!
Seeking PROTECTION by God's hand;
Ignoring the DANGER he prayed.
Taking a CHANCE to reach the land,
BUILDING hope to be not delayed,
Changing his FATE, Pedro, a man...
Happy tears in his eyes stayed,
Crossing BORDER a sudden reprimand!
Pain sharp as a knife blade
Pedro reached this country so grand
Only to be slayed!
