Honrar la vida

Honoring life
Honoring life
No, to remain and pass by is not to endure,
it is not to exist, nor to honor life.
There are so many ways of not being,
so much consciousness, without knowing, numbed.
To deserve life is not to be silent and consent
to so many repeated injustices.
It is a virtue, it is dignity,
and it is the most defined identity attitude.
To endure and pass by does not give us the right to boast
because it is not the same as living to honor life.
No, to remain and pass by does not always
imply honoring life.
There is so much small vanity
in our foolish blinded humanity...
To deserve life
is to stand up vertically beyond the evil of falls.
It is the same as giving truth
and our own freedom a welcome...
