        Carlos Trevino says of himself: 
        "I live in the Dallas/Fort 
          Worth area. 
          I do not consider myself a poet, but I have written some poems because 
          I had to put my feelings down on paper to free some of my thoughts." 
         
  
          
"The Migrant" 
                   
                Who 
                  are those wretched people 
                  That toil out in the countryside? 
                  I see them stooping near the earth 
                  Where do they all reside? 
                There 
                  are also little girls and boys 
                  That stroll behind the women. 
                  They clasp dirty broken toys 
                  Why are they not in school? 
                   
                  Who are these common people 
                  That work from dawn to dusk? 
                  I wonder where they sleep at night 
                  And where they put their trust. 
                They 
                  eat their meals under a tree 
                  Where a mother holds her child. 
                  See that infant on her knee? 
                  That child my friend was me.
