("Pobre Diabla" Don Omar)
This had to be my favorite class period of the whole semester. I had heard all of these songs before this class and I like all of them. My favorite artist on the list is Don Omar.
In his song, "Pobre Diabla" he is singing about how the guy really doesn't respect the girl and doesn't care about her. She cries and cries over him; a guy who isn't worth a dime and uses her.
I thought about how often this happens in real life, how often I saw it while I was on my mission, and how often it happens here.
Sadly men use, abuse, and under appreciate women all the time. Unfortunately when I listened to this song my thoughts went to my cousin. It wouldn't be inaccurate to say that he is not the best boyfriend in the world. When he has a girlfriend he is always talking to other girls, texting other girls, and not giving his girlfriend the attention that she deserves. His "girlfriend" just broke up with him because she was sick and tired of him treating her like she didn't matter to him.
I don't know why my cousin and other men treat women this way. I think that at least for my cousin, he thinks that because he isn't ready to get married it's ok to do what he is doing. Eventually he will find the girl that he wants to be with but won't know how to act around her or treat her. Before my cousin, or any other guy, finds the girl he wants to marry, he has to stop thinking that girls are like buses.
