First-born Tendency

“I’ll barrio as well those in South Bronx.” Ruben Estrada

I wish the two of you held

a closer bond.

Truth is I don’t know your history,

your son may not either.

Why you left him at a young age.

Your family love is beautiful in pictures,

ones I noticed on your timeline.

I wish Erik stepped inside them more.

See the strong support you hold in politics 

and Puerto Rican history.

I learned a lot from your Facebook.

The Hispanic Reconquest of American History,

Helping Hands for Puerto Rico,

Jibaro, the Boricua.

Young Lords to name a few.

Wish I could taste from the Empanada Master,

spend Sofrito Time with you.

Tell you that he’s more than your oldest

and First-born.

Barrio more in his successes over cuisine and drinks.

“Puerto Ricans are a mosaic of the world.”

Your son without any titles,

is proof.
