Jonny EL Nopal grew from a Baron land The defending himself with thorns Thirsty For water to drink Somehow he produce pitayas to eat Knowing that they would judge the Nopal By the lack of fruits He bare He was still proud, they was rare. Ripe with dimples, smiling with a dare Even through pain, still willing to share A thorn to the heart as I stare, life is a mirage and he is no longer there.
