A poem about the news. Un poema sobre los diarios.
Headlines
I ignored the headlines
and the death toll
from the souls I could not save.
I blinded my eyes
to keep them them dry
from the blood spilt in the streets.
I burned my tongued
to keep from screaming
but the words I never said
burned me even deeper.
But still I had peace
and still there was bliss
that stemmed from chosen ignorance
until the day
the war came.
Los Diarios
Ignoré los diarios
Al diario comentaban
De las muertes que no pude evitar
Y cerré los ojos para no llorar
Al mirar que mi gente derramaba sangre
Por las calles frias del mas allá
Y me corte la lengua para no gritar
Y las palabras que no dije
Quemaron el fondo de mi alma
Pero tuve calma
Y por años fui feliz
Con la ignorancia
Que yo misma escogí
Hasta al maldito dia
Que la guerra vino a mí.
