I Have a Dream?
I have a dream that one day, i l legal immigrat ion wil l be a t hing of
t he past . Men, women and children shouldn?t have t o endanger
t hey?re l ives t o get t o t he land of opportunit y or die not get t ing t he
t aste of t he sweet f reedom that everyone in t he over crowded
t ruck whispers t o each others ears l ike a comfort ing lul laby. I have
a dream that t he Government would stop t hrowing around t he
t opic of immigrat ion laws, just because it hasn?t been on t he news
in a few months because t here is a new family f resh f rom China
t hat get s excit ed about t he t alk of new immigrat ion laws, but
quickly learns t hat t he government is all t alk and no walk.
I have a dream that immigrates won?t have t o watch every corner
t hey walk by for an author it y f igure in t he land of t he f ree. That a
busy mom of two is dr iving, doesn?t have t o pretend t hat one of t he
houses on t he st reet s is hers, or t ake an alt ernate route in fear
t hat t he police car behind her wil l st op her and ask her in English,
?License and regist rat ion.? And she would stumble over her poor ly
t ranslated English and say, ?License, no have.?
I have a dream that a good educat ion shall be given t o t hose who
are not f rom the land of hard work and determinat ion. To t he l i t t le
gir l who suf fered af t er t he public school bil ingual pre school
program got cut because t here wasn?t enough funding. Going into
Kindergarten not knowing how to t el l you what she is drawing, but
she can surely t el l you what colors she used. When she grows up
and f inds out t hat she can?t go t o College, because well she has t he
grades but not t he papers.
Well t hat is America, r ight?

?M oonl i t Tears? Robert A ceret, 2015
Salt y t ears rushed down his face as t he boy glanced at
t he sight . He couldn?t recognize t he unusual pounding
inside of his body; it was t oo fast t o be his heart . He
didn?t want t o accept t he t ruth of t he sight before him,
yet he couldn?t blame his eyes for it was t hem that
suf fered wit h him. His mouth was open, t ast ing t he
bit t ersweet air of t he cold night ; he couldn?t make a
sound.
The t horns of t he f lower in his hands now pierced t he
f lesh of his f ingers; red cr imson droplet s ran down his
palm and onto t he cemented ground. They shone so
beaut iful ly in t he moonlight , but couldn?t compare t o
t he whit e petals glowing above t he stem; ref lect ing t he
silver radiance of t he moon.
Before him, two f igures stood t ogether t earfully
embracing each other in t he moonlit set t ing.
The boy found he was unnecessary here. His sadness
was caused by t heir happiness; he shouldn?t be t here t o
spoil such a beaut iful moment . Saddened, t hough not
grudgingly, t he boy t urned and ran in t he opposit e
direct ion of t he night .

"Lunar Dreamscape"
- Serena Rios, 2016
The boy wandered t hroughout his wor ld, aimlessly looking for a cause. He walked wit hout t iredness, wit hout rest lessness. His breathing was predictable, even calming. Though t his never fascinated him.
In t his realm, his realm, t here was nothing. No one. Walking upr ight , he would be laid t o waste in such a color ful wor ld ful l of nothingness. He would die a beaut iful, meaningless death.
The f irst t ime he realized he was here, he cr ied out in t his empty space, for someone, something. He gave up concluding his search was meaningless, believing his end would be here, in t his space f i l led wit h l ight but damped wit h dullness. The chromat ic sight of t his wor ld, his wor ld, couldn?t sat isfy him. I t seemed that sat isfact ion would never come to save him.
This is my wor ld; where nothing wil l begin, where nothing wil l end. I l ive a l i fe of nothing; of everything. I have no purpose. I l ive for no purpose. There is no t ime. Yet , t here is inf init e t ime. There is only here? only me?
Nothing wil l bir t h here. Nothing wil l expire. Unless? ?
Beyond t he hor izon of t he plain, he heard something.
A sound? In t his inf init ely st i l l place?
A voice was t here. He might ?ve missed it , because it was so subt le. I t hummed wit h si lence, yet spoke wit h words of beauty. Was it a call ing? Was he not alone?
The boy stepped forward wit hout meaning t o; but l ike every other step, it felt empty as if he was st i l l in t he same place before. Part of his spir it pleaded t o stay where he was; t he other begged t o go. He wil led himself t o t ake another step, t his t ime sparked wit h wonder, and for t he f irst t ime wit hout such apathy.
He forced another step, and wit h it another spark. He felt something inside him. A desire. A yearning. Then he t ook another, and t he feeling became st ronger, more?
What is t his? Why am I? ?
Something was beyond where he was. There was something past t he hor izon of his wor ld, but he had no proof , no basis. St i l l , he had t o go. He wanted it t o be t rue. He wanted t here t o be something.
He not iced his breathing was shif t ing, becoming more ir regular. He walked faster, f inding himself? running. When was t he last moment t hat I felt ? so? excit ed?
St i l l he wasn?t going anywhere. There wasn?t a dest inat ion in sight . But st i l l t he boy ran and ran. He opened his mouth and emit t ed sound. ?Why am I running?? He screamed. His eyes widened and his eyes were wet , t hough he felt no sadness. ?Why am I crying?? Is t his delight? He found himself smil ing? laughing. Why he was doing t his was st i l l unknown to him. I t was pure mystery. What is t his feeling? I?m t rying t o go somewhere, but? where? But cur iosit y capt ivated t he boy, cont rolled his body. More t houghts echoed in his mind, but only one mat tered now. Quest ions rang, but he wanted t o leave t hem unanswered. The sound was call ing. And f inally he yelled, ?I?m coming. Even if i t t akes inf init e steps, I ?m coming.?
