Soy Un Ser Humano
Alberto Cortez
I Am a Human Being
Beyond any ideology
Beyond the wise and the profane
I am part of space, I am life
By being a human being
I am the builder of my virtues
As I am at the same time as my defects
Inexhaustible torrent of concerns
Great contradiction of the perfect
I put the thorns in the forehead
Nails in the feet and in both hands
Then I burst into tears
The irreparable death of my brother
For me the doubt becomes controversial
Who I am? Where I go? Where do I come from?
Through the times so sharp
That through her I am reborn and sustained
I am the one who opened Pandora's box
That kept the evils of the planet
I do not escape hope, in good time
Because of her I survive and I am a poet
I am the one who created the prisons
And the fratricidal struggle and injustice
But I have also invented the songs
And the subtle charm of a caress
In the name of my God
I am a murderer, a liar, a fanatic and a tyrant
Defying the laws of destiny
I have centuries of blood on my hands
But also in his name I am the rein
Who manages to tame so many colts
The snack would be without order
Of eating each other
I am the power
That condemns the natural instincts of man
My censorship, crawling through dark labyrinths
He imposes the morality of his stature
I am an individual among the masses
The coincidence is just an accident
I am looking for a wife, I have children, I have a house
I am the option of a smart brain
What is worth more, concern of my existence
When the end comes and remains inert
Yes, art, to establish my transcendence
Or the eternal mystery of death
For all
Beyond any ideology
Beyond the wise and the profane
I am part of space, I am life
By being a human being
