POET LAUREATE
Colegio Granadino
Poem
Mateo Aristizabal
The event I chose for my poem was the death of Pablo Escobar. The poem is from Pablo
Escobar's perspective. This event is really important in Colombian history because Pablo was the most
recognized drug dealer in all Colombia, he was being searched by all the Colombian soldiers, and
some U.S.A. soldiers too. I used a terza rima poetic form.
"The Big Death"
My name is Pablo Escobar
I am the most important drug dealer in Colombia
All the Colombian soldiers look for me
Today I am in my moms birthday
But I think that this will be a bad day
All of this will have to be
All the soldiers surrounded the building
I didn't know until I heard people screaming
I climbed the roof, running from the police
I felt something cold come inside me
It was the bullet of a soldier's gun
This was the end of my whole life
