Why us?

Sun is about to rise, a dark red heavy ocean covers my eyes.
The seagulls  are singing over the sea, flying in circles, over and over countless of times, looking for something to eat.
The scenario is gloomy, the mood is dark, cold breeze, and the fog of November strikes the beauty of the beach. The body of a little girl is floating upside down near the shore, floating, lifeless, reaching the blend and soft sand, not to be seen, not to be found. No one is there, no one notice the death of a helpless little girl.

The night was quite and serpentine, everyone was dreaming, someone might be still awake, watching and being doomed by TV.
The teenager awoke in the middle of the night, he wore his leather jacket, and the sound of the zipper seemed louder than ever before.
He walked around his house, looked inside  his parents room, what he witnessed disgusted the teenagers´ mind.

He kept walking down the hallway, just a few more steps, no more, he entered to the second door, a sign was seen, a pink colourful sign. “Rosie”
He looked inside, quite; a thin ray of light from the shiny moon entered through the window.
He stood next to the bed, 3 minutes passed by.
He took a plastic bag and wrapped it around Rosie’s head, she didn't struggle, and she didn't exist anymore. A few tears ran down the teenager´s face.

Softly removed the bag from her head.
Rosie?
-No one respond
The teenager smiled. He dragged the body all the way to the beach.

Her mom and dad woke up. They look at each other.
-Do you feel like it?
The mother nodded. They made love...

Insane


Heroes

Un héroe,
Los heroes, son seres que constantemente se rebelan y luchan en contra de las debilidades absurdas de nuestra sociedad. Despiertan miedo e inseguridad, decaen.
Son la inspiración de los soñadores y amantes de la vida justa;
con el tiempo un nuevo héroe toma su lugar.

I hide behind a language,
masks of soft smiles and simple lies of "I am fine" help us to fit in.
Who wants to be a burden? 
We are all alright.
Violence, famine, and money are temporary passengers inside our trouble minds.
We are fine
I am fine.

Yo nací feliz, sonriendo
con ese llanto de dolor y de furia
el último eco que quedó
de una vida que ya no es mía.
