    About this ebook

    In Sweating Blood we experience the highs and lows driving the pen onward. As H-Poet unravels his art, his passion illuminates the harsh realities of life: societys apathy towards performance poetry, the restricting demands imposed on us by others at work, the threats daily life poses, and more. The poet shifts moods and shares his thoughts on how to have a momentary escape from it all by indulging in one of two types of beverages. One gives your day a jump-start and the other relaxes and distances you from reality whenever the need to get away arises. He suggests daily poetic expression as a necessary venting avenue to keep mind and body focused and content. The poems reveal the poets commitment and love for his family, his loyalty to his friends, and his willingness to communicate via e-mail, Facebook, or anyway of your choice to listen to your deepest or most burdensome thoughts. Through it all the poet candidly promotes remaining true to yourself and being proud of who you are, where you came from, and what you have become. He encourages you to fulfill your dreams and live life without regrets for doing what feels right to you. Only by doing so can life be customized to bring you the ultimate fulfillment you seek.

      Success from the barrio

      My people, straight from the barrio

      if we try harder and smarter to improve

      there’s nothing we can’t achieve

      we have traveled a long way

      but there’s still a long way to go

      if you ask me we can contribute more to the world

      if we receive an education

      and live a clean life

      most people think because

      you are an underprivileged child

      from the barrio

      you should grow up to be in line

      to become a welfare parasite

      then get in line of prostitution

      follow that up in the next line of inmates

      why should we live up to society’s low expectations for my brown people

      so you can think we got a low I.Q.

      times are changing and

      we need to be ready for the change

      we need to seize the moment

      and show the world what we are capable of having

      a high position with the right experience

      all the credentials required

      don’t forget to bring your ID

      and social security card

      because there are still some people out there

      who think we are not citizens of this country

      where we were born

      that our people helped

      build with their brown hands

      brown backs

      not everyone crossed the border

      the border crosses some of us to… so you know

      please stop all the attacks

      don’t forget people Straight from the Barrio

      will always be under the microscope

      everything we do or say accomplished or failed

      will get scrutinized today we are

      America’s most wanted or most unwanted

      tomorrow we will be America’s most in demand

      so I say STAND UP!

      and get in line for the degree

      that you have earned

      STAND UP! and get in line for the career

      of your choice in the Corporate America

      here are the keys to your new business

      and force out all the stereotypes

      preconceived notions people may have

      of people Straight from the Barrio to us

      our neighborhoods have been forgotten for too long

      we need more brown politicians who can relate

      and can bring the right attention to the barrio

      we need someone to set you straight

      with some straight thinking

      straight walking

      straight clear as water ideas for the truth

      an underprivileged background

      now a successful brown person

      will bring improvement to the inner city brown kids

      because we will not forget where we came from

      and we will show the young RAZA the road to success

      why not a person who lived underprivileged

      and still managed to become successful

      George Lopez for president

      Sandra Cisneros for Vice President

      Sonia Sotomayor for Supreme Court judge

      Oscar de la Hoya for secretary of state

      Now put yourself in the equation

      Improve your situation

      everybody knows Latina women are the most

      beautiful creatures God ever created

      but you know what is more beautiful…

      successful Latina women

      the total package

      they can do it all and it’s time to inform

      and educate the world

      then there will finally be some respect

      among us the brown people

      because our children straight from the barrio

      will have somebody to look up to

      a successful brown scientist

      an engineer a successful brown businessman entrepreneur

      this time the truth will go honest

      the saying all men are created equal

      will not only be heard but seen for the first time

      because there is an opportunity

      out there waiting for everyone

      but it won’t be there forever… The time is NOW

      we will go from the dirt roads of the barrio

      to the streets of corporate
