Puerto Vallarta,

Lead by a corrupt government

Narcotics either being seized or used

Soldiers cruising down the street

Armed with assault rifles

A place everyone fantasizes to visit

Shops shut down

Families scavenge for work

Begging for change

Handing out small "chicle" packets

Beans and rice over and over

Their car being pushed to the very last mile

Beaten up buses brakes screech

As if someone blew a whistle

Roads changing, with paved, with dirt

Motorcyclists risk their lives weaving through traffic,

Hidden speed bumps wait to take out your undercarriage

Yet everyone takes the streets

Madness lurks in every corner, with

Excursions littered all over the map

Scouting for whales in deep unknown

Flying with birds whilst zip-lining

Rushing through mountains on worn out ATV's

Mucky, icky, abominable water,

The faucets poor out poison

Sickness becomes reality

Dehydration waiting to take someones life

Huge purified tanks, filled with value

Taken for granted

Burning garbage

Upbeat music

Laughter

Torn up flip flops protecting nimble feet

Clueless of what the outside world is like,

Dreaming of receiving a bike

Negligible "pueblos" scattered everywhere

Dogs take over the streets

Homeless, consuming garbage

Scars cover their body

Constantly itching the rabid flees of themselves

Freedom across the border

Houses everyone's hopes and dreams

No more appalling life

No more rice and beans

No more awful occupations

More sovereignty over your life
