Boston blues

That is an old poem Written by Aldo Kraas

Many years ago I live in Boston

There was lots of violence in the streets in Boston

Also there are people who smoke street drugs

And I know that they are destroying themselves with street drugs

I don't know how they get the money to buy street drugs

I hate to see them smoking street drugs

Also there is not safe to walk in the streets in Boston

Also in the subway station it is not safe there

During the day I went to school so I could get my education

Because I know that is very important to get an education

If I don't have an education I won't be able to get a job

I know that I want a job so badly

I keep looking for jobs in the newspaper

It is very hard to get a job this days

All the jobs that are available pays the minimum wage

And I know that it is very hard to live on minimum wage

So when I came to Boston I didn't spoke one word in English

I had to learn English in the school

I t wasn't easy for me to learn English

In Boston I lived across from the Charles river

Every day after school I used to ride my bike on Charles river

And the sun was out

We had good weather in the summer

We never had any rain coming down from the sky

When the sun went down I returned home with my bike

Now it was night time finally

We had our dinner

After dinner I went to bed

Because I had to wake up early

I had my breakfast

Then at 5:30 I arrived at school
