After reading this poem it was interesting to analyze and interpret the meaning behind this poem. The poet describes himself as a Puerto Rican who faced adversity living in a low-income neighborhood. His message to his readers is to take pride of where you are from and do not be ashamed of your culture. He loved his neighborhood so much that he wanted his ashes to be left behind.
