El Problema

The problem is not
whether you look for more problems
The problem is not
to be able to start over
The problem is not
to live proving
to someone who demands
and goes begging
The problem is not
to repeat yesterday
as a formula to save oneself.
The problem is not to play at giving
The problem is not occasional
The problem, sir
continues to be sowing love.

The problem is not
of those who came and went or vice versa
The problem is not
of children who boast parents
The problem is not
of those who calculate and recount
and in their pocket
add up what is left
The problem is not of the global trend
nor of such bad memory
The problem does not lie in glory
nor in the lack of perseverance and sweat
The problem, sir
continues to be sowing love

The problem is not
tumbling into dream abysses
because today did not reach
the bleeding future of yesterday
The problem is not
that time sentences loss
when there are youths
dreaming detours
The problem is not
to give an axe to pain
and make firewood with everything including the palm
The vital problem is the soul
The problem is of resurrection
The problem, sir
will always be sowing love.
