'One Nation'

As all of the days before it was a hot, sunny and endless morning. He was standing in the porch of and old shack located in the western hemisphere, above in the union of central and North America, above the Mexican territory, below the American border. He waited upon his fellow comrades to arrive with the rest of the platoon and cargo, for the long and exhausting journey he was about to embark on, in search of something he always longed for, freedom. It was more than once that he was deprived of such things but he hesitated for what he thought was right. He sat on the old hollow chili box with a red and tan poncho rested on his shoulder and a small leather sac with a thick yellow wool string to fasten to his right shoulder. Inside it, he contained a goat skin canteen, a small woven blanket for the cold and harsh nights he planned to endure in the dry deserts to be encountered. And a small package in which he quickly revealed two handfuls of dry smoked meat, he took a small bite of one piece and a sip of his water as he sat in the shade of the shack provided away from the direct rays he so disgusted to withstand. His rugged mustache aside from his upper lip resembled to him his only treasured memory he was to keep for the sake of his nation he had to once again rid from his heart to survive in the harsh world he stood to fight. His plans were not of those already portrayed and lost due to the lack of knowledge he once thought he had, he was not to render himself as easy to the ‘güeritos’ and güeritas’ the Northern nation had to ensure he was not once again in the sacred free land. He had an open mind for any obstacle that was to come his way and thought very thoroughly on many occasions on how to deal with them comparing to what he dealt with in the past years, this was his time, his chance for the taking of the ultimate prize.
They arrived riding through the dusty road, the opaque red pickup wagon, full of hope and ambition. And on he went into the shine of the sun, to satisfy his inner spirit for the accolade he so dearly desired.
