Errs, Trials, & Trials

de Próxima Parada

How many people had to survive
So you could arrive?

I’m still thinking about your beautiful face
You are amazing
How many stories live in you
From the Middle Ages, from Ancient Times?
How many times did they sacrifice?
How much sweat on the brow?
How many miles?

Please forgive everybody who’s forgotten where they come from
Who’s forgotten who they are
They don’t need your backs and hatred
They need your face
They need your embrace

And a kind reminder

How many people had to die so you could be alive?
When I’m looking at your face
It’s the face of a million and so much more
When you see me passing by
Would you kindly remind me of my ancestor’s feet
All the fields of wheat, all the rows of thirsty seeds?

Please forgive everybody who’s forgotten where they come from
Who’s forgotten who they are
They don’t need your backs and hatred
They need your face
They need your embrace

And a kind reminder

How many people had to survive
So you could arrive?
