Vato poems on Hello Poetry

Armando Nathan Saenz Sep 2017

She is so firme in her style in her life. She comes from a familia Pachucos and Pachuca she's living in culture. She's a firme hyna in the streets in EL Chuco. Every Vato riding in there Ranfla playing those oldies rola in the radio. She was raised and taught by her Jefita and by her Jefito and specially by her grandparents of the ways to be the perfect loyal honest Street Smart Pachuca. She lived in the varrio that were so many winos and tecatos. Mostly everyday in the early hours in the morning afternoon to the evening till the sun sets almost 24/7 there is always somebody getting hurt and there is always tira around the Varrio. The nights with smell like grifo.She becoming a True Firme Pachuca she is also aguas in the Varrio. She never back down from a fight but she never lost a fight. She always had young vatos and zafado ruco always looking at her and always trying to ask her out on dates. So kindly say no thank you but she always had eyes for a younger Vato same age as her. She was all in love with this one Vato. This Vato was well-known he had the baddest Bomba in EL CHUCO. Every Sunday she'll go to the cruise on Texas Street known as The Heritage Cruise where all the lowriders and all the Pachucos go and represent. Every time she sees this Young Vato her eyes would light up the night sky. She loved his Style so much she never said a word to anybody she was so in love with him. He had noticed her so many times the way she dresses the way she walks the way she talks the way she represents as a classy Pachuca. She was always into Ranfla and Bomba since she was a little girl. Her grandfather her father taught her to fix and paint cars. But she love those classic old style cars especially those Lowrider cars. Every September in El Chuco there's always the greatest car show we're all cars classics bikes a family events in the park. she loved going to Lincoln Park.. It was a family tradition from generation two generation to go to the show. She knew the man that she loved would be there......To be continued part 1

Vato Love at Cesar Chavez Park

I know it's cheesy but I enjoyed writing it

Oh baby riding slow

On that old Chevy of mine

Baby just you and I

At Cesar Chavez park

Tu y yo under the stars

Listening to old jams

Te acuerdas de our song

The one that made you cry

I go down, you exhale,

Then poetry fills the air

Baby just you and I

At Cesar Chavez park

This is no LA poem

It’s LV vato love

Just hold me apretadito

Papito don’t let go

Rest your head on my shoulder

While you’re holding my hand

It’s me and my only baby

At Cesar Chavez park.

The Milky Way Vato

There's a vato in the milky way sporting a fedora and a stash...
I saw him from a mountain .....high somewhere between New Mexico and Arizona .....smashed.

I took a pic to pinch myself
get proof of what I'd seen.
And sure enough when
I zoomed in there
he was, looking really mean.

I never knew the Aztecs had gone to outer space....but I have proof... I can show you...you could never miss his face.

Choir Turtle #11

there once was a turtle named Otto
who called all the Mexicans "vato"
but now he's in heaven
choir turtle eleven
with a rather nice little vibrato

falling days

she writes of the falling days
- knows them well, one can tell

simple things like string
and wrappings
autumn and swallows -
hollow places she has seen
in boxes and photographs

and so it is - the falling days
the number of birds at my feeder are fewer
no more humming, no painted buntings
-only my homies come now, my vato birds, my mijas

the cardinal, both red and green
the nuthatch and chickadee, the titmouse-
all three
the wrens and finches, too-

and the blues still like to bathe
in the pyrex baking dish sun warmed
on a sunny day-serenaded by the mocking
one hopping from grub to worm below

- my usual feathered friends
not caring about the weather-fair or foul
and in the pale blue, a gull still laughs
at the folly of it all-

leaving goes slowly-
a spiraling, a gust of wind-
days slowly graying
shorter, lightly fading
- friends, they go

the falling days, change and leavings
leave me - well, you know...

i see the simple things
that soothe, like string
and wrappings, swallows -

- autumn, you know?

Cool kissing his glock.

Hot Rod

If you were an automobile,
You would be out of my price range,
Yet here you are, parked in my bed,
Complete with all available luxuries.
Your revving engine, sends a thrill through me,
When I'm sad, your wipers clear my tears.
When the night is cold, your heat keeps me warm.
I love to run my hands along your sleek chassis.
Polish up all my favorite bits.
I love you more than a vato loves his low rider.
I love you more than a redneck loves his pickup.
I love you more than speed racer loves his Mach five.
I love you more than Barbie loves her pink convertible.
You're my Hot Rod,
You take me places, nobody else can.
You and I will be riding of into the sunset,
Until the wheels fall off.

San Anto: Chorizo and Egg

Whether I'm out on Military Drive
With my Ruca cruising the street,
I can't stay alive
Without that special meat.

I'm talking bout early morn,
Looking for a place for some comida,
When you need that taco like food ****,
You need it in your Vida.

Yeah, you have buevo ranchero,
Or maybe some bean and cheese,
But I need me some vaquero
To fill my Mexican needs.

So make me a taco,
Make it chorizo and egg,
I'm just a typical vato,
Cmon, please don't make me beg!

And now you know about my favorite dish,
Eating Mexican is like a granted wish.

From the San Antonio series of poems for my city.

I Will Revive Lost Idols

Donkey Kong SWING!
I'll jump on a krool
Got nothing to lose
Already got a few screws loose
Duck, duck, foo I am going ghost
If youu think I am the goose.
Big Bird. What's the word? I hate Amber Alerts!
I got idiots driving wild
kids out here, they gotta hit the curve.
I rather it be them before my babies
cause life, aint so sweet if you only crave deserts.

Salty saps trying worm they way in
on the surface, I am not breaking
anymore promises within my purpose.
The distance, you don't deserve it.
I can feel the pain, you feel so
trust me, I know what you mean
when you say, "I been hurting"
the scars only go so deep.
Dispell the malice
For it will haunt me
in my sleep. I got many destinys to fufill.
obstacles fall to be obsolete.
Evil will pay for every soul
it decided to reap, that's one of
the promises, I made to keep!
I am not lyin, I am a beast, I am a Lion!
We will all feast, sure of that, better believe
anything for our liberty, cause I always
been head over hills for justice to bring peace!

I am a warrior,
I am a spellcaster.
I got magic and the strength
I am not only flexin
I am going through progression.
No pawns in my way, stomp any boss
like a pesant. You peon. Crack your ****
like you if ran up on Chappelle, if you get
the reference!
I am a lover.
I am a believer.
I need him and her
To unite and save us all.
Why wonder in fault
insteading finding resolve.
I feel my power evolve!
Too many times, I have been told
You got wisdom beyond your years.
I learn from the ones with hearts of gold.
Silence the hate in this world.
Speak no evil into existence
to any enemy it's cut throat!
In my family, I was the black sheep.
Now I am the goat! Blast off like team rocket
always ready, lock and load!
I'll make you get put in place
like what I have in my stock holds.
Duality. Two sides of me.
Heading through trails, troubles on my tails.
I am making my way down crossroads!
Get smoked like Gelatto. I said it before tho.
I am going to bounce back like Demi De'Vato
Show off like a Queen
and akkido flip a man
Come on baby do
the monkey with me!
Heh. Ha. Huu! I go smooth, like Peter Pan
and make you laugh like Johnny Bravo.o
I'll hold it down like Security.
No need for 5-0
My fire is my son.
I feel my light outshines the sun
I am on the rise, yo!
We gotta live. This is more than for survival
The legends of upcoming legacy must lead
to immortalize the values of lost idols.
In the wake, of my next life
I am going to do it the same!
so remember me when I am gone
before incarnation cast my
soul to be granted another chance
through the cycle of revival!

— The End —
