By Allan Quintanilla
I am just a minor
I wonder if I could be a writer
I hear gunshots and screeching tires
I see people in the street I admire
I’m a dreamer, not a liar
I’m not the smartest, but I could be an artist
I am just a minor
I pretend to be an artist
I feel the streets’ darkness
I touch my chest, it’s heartless
I worry that the love for my mother is not the largest
I never cry, not even for my dearly departed
I’m not the smartest, but I could be an artist
I am just a minor
I understand I can be such an a-hole
My skin in blanco, but in my roots, soy Guatemalteco
I hope one day I will be set with my own home
Lots of land, a wife and a daughter, yo
I am a minor wondering if I could be a writer
I’m not the smartest, but I could be an artist
I am just a minor

“Here’s the thing about The Good Men Project. We are trying to create big, sweeping, societal changes—–overturn stereotypes, eliminate racism, sexism, homophobia, be a positive force for good for things like education reform and the environment. And we’re also giving individuals the tools they need to make individual change—-with their own relationships, with the way they parent, with their ability to be more conscious, more mindful, and more insightful. For some people, that could get overwhelming. But for those of us here at The Good Men Project, it is not overwhelming. It is simply something we do—–every day. We do it with teamwork, with compassion, with an understanding of systems and how they work, and with shared insights from a diversity of viewpoints.” —– Lisa Hickey, Publisher of The Good Men Project and CEO of Good Men Media Inc.
