Foto de Familia

Family Photo
Behind all these years
behind the fear and pain,
we live longing for something,
something that never came back.
Behind those who did not leave
behind those who are no longer
there is a family photo
where we cry at the end.
trying to look
through the eye of the needle.
Trying to live
within the same bubble.
Alone.
Behind all the nostalgia,
of lies and betrayal,
behind all the distance,
behind the separation.
Behind all the governments,
of borders and religion
there is a family photo
There is a photo of the two.
trying to look
through the eye of the needle.
Trying to live
within the same bubble.
Alone.
Behind all these years
behind the fear and pain,
we live longing for something,
and we discover with disappointment
that was of no use
you are welcome
"or almost nothing
It is not the same
but it's the same
