A Sonnet for a Kid I Never Knew
December 5, 2012
Reblogged from Melancholically Manic Mouse:
Joaquin Luna is no longer a kid, though he was when he was brought to the U.S..
He was an 18 year-old undocumented high school student, an A+ student before he shot himself a few days ago. Besides that, I don’t know the details of his suicide nor the circumstances the press wants to talk about and/or omit, and I sure as all hell don’t want to think about all of the political implications--all the petty, hateful online arguments about immigrants in the comment sections I used to read so much--and that, I presume, have been stirred by this kid’s publicized story.
This was my VERY FIRST post here on WordPress. As mentioned before I started the blog in November of 2011 but didn't get to publishing anything until Joaquin Luna died. This is his story and mine. I think those of you, my old followers will find this a good read. I hope. It's very important to me and a very sensitive subject I hope to write about more. I guess I came into the bloggie world with a bang! hehe. Mouse love
