I thought about you until that very day
I took my first breath
With open arms surrounding me
My new home was now the best
Love and gladness filled the air
With future hopes to uncover
My new home of journeys and memories
Each experience after another
Unspeakable depths of beauty
Many rooms to explore
My home of splendid generosity
Including habitants behind every door
My home of freedom, beauty, and light
I cherish and appreciate as a child in flight
With grace and mercy by my side
I walk and tumble with the tide
The years have brought me to this place
Of solemn acceptance I must face
My home, so fruitful and immense
My home, it is so intense.

“ Jahzeel goes Underground” by Billi Lynn Holt
Honduras is a Caribbean Sea coastal country located in Central America. The capital of Honduras is Teguciagalpa and Comayagüela. Chapter 11, of the Honduran constitution, Article 295, translates, "The Central District consists of a single municipality made up of the former municipalities of Tegucigalpa and Comayagüela.” Comayagüela is referred to as “Little Comayagüela” and along with Tegucigalpa these cities make up the capital of Honduras. Tegucigalpa and Comayagüela have a long-standing history of political and economic strife. This strife that occurs could be a result of the scarcity of resources due to the increasing population growth in this country and the dry weather effecting the security of water supply. The longstanding banana, shrimp and coffee production in Honduras is, affected by the weather, including drought, and hurricanes. Because of these environmental factors, the citizens of Honduras have tried to market other agricultural initiatives but continue to struggle and have unmet sociological needs. Aid from the US denied to Honduras was due to the disagreement about the countries choice of how the country is governed and continual disregard for debt. Unemployment and underemployment measure over 50% of the citizens in Honduras. Due to wars from neighboring countries, the damaging weather and mismanagement of government rule, the decent citizens of Honduras have desperately sought relief by competing for scarce jobs and demand for government reform. Violent crimes conducted by gangs continue to become the societal norm in Honduras. The misconstrued “weak” members of society in Honduras are still targeted for murders, sexual abuse, violation of human rights and other violence by government officials and gangs. Corruption is the way of life in Honduras. Efforts in the past by the US to aid the country of Honduras of crime have been obstructed, purposely, by the corrupt local officials and gangs. Violent gangs such as the "Mara Salvatrucha" and "The 18th Street Gang" rule the way of life in Honduras. There have been ongoing efforts at solving Honduras’s problems by enacting the services of government entities, yet obstructed by governmental abuses, and collusion with criminals.
