THE POETRY TRAIN

I have been asked,

to take the poetry train

to my country

to the boundaries of my existence.

 

Shout that it is enough,

a protest

something that raises the voice,

against anything that cries injustice.

 

Poverty, starvation, racism

inequality, abuse.

 

To raise our voice

is to poke the inaction,

of those who live

without screaming the pain of others

 

it is not walking the labyrinths,

of the living in the cemeteries

the innocent jailed

or the children, that like dirty rats

inhabit the sewers,

of any city.

 

All stigmatized!

 

By whom?

 

Social hooded

that nobody sees

they corrupt, steal, and kill.

 

We

wander the streets,

like ghosts that everyone sees

projecting the illusion of anonymity

justifying

social inertia.
