Poema (hombre Que Mira Al Cielo)

Sin Dios' song "Poema (hombre Que Mira Al Cielo)" is a powerful and evocative piece that blends poetic imagery with a fervent call for social justice. The lyrics begin with the narrator making a wish upon a shooting star, a moment often associated with hope and dreams. However, the wishes expressed are far from trivial; they are deep, urgent, and reflective of a desire for profound change. The narrator wishes for the pain not to extinguish their anger, for joy not to weaken their love, and for the oppressors to face poetic justice. This juxtaposition of personal emotions with broader social issues sets the tone for the rest of the song.

The song continues with vivid metaphors, such as prison bars turning to sugar or bending with compassion, symbolizing a yearning for freedom and empathy. The narrator dreams of a world where their comrades can once again engage in love and revolution, highlighting the interconnectedness of personal and political liberation. The imagery of facing an unyielding mirror without cursing oneself speaks to the struggle for self-acceptance and resilience in the face of adversity. The call for the just to advance, despite their imperfections and wounds, underscores the importance of solidarity and perseverance in the fight for justice.

As the song progresses, it touches on themes of mortality and the desire for a more humane world. The narrator wishes for death to lose its cruel punctuality, and if it must come, for it not to find them ashamed. This reflects a desire for a life lived with dignity and purpose. The song concludes with a poignant image of a young woman, joyful yet pained, holding the narrator's hand as they face a sky devoid of stars, filled instead with helicopters and devoid of divine presence. This final image encapsulates the tension between hope and despair, love and struggle, in a world fraught with conflict and oppression.
