Ode To Farabundo Martí

En sus manos la pasión y lágrimas de una nación|

La batalla por la liberación|

Ocultaron su voz|

Pero su mensaje rompió el silencio de una nación|

Canciónes y gritos sostienen su imagen y mensaje en la lengua de aquellos ovidados|

El representa el coraje y el odio|

El amor|

Y el honor|

El sudor construido por la calor que dio el sol en la frente de los secuestrados sin justificación|

Este es el hombre que dio su vida por la liberación de mi querida nación|

    Just thought I'd share this with you. It's a truly beautiful and poetic song written by a group that I think was part of the FMLN. "Regalo para un niño" was originally titled "Poema para un niño". It's also written in the memory of Farabundo Marti.

    Listen to it. It's an extremely poetic and moving song, especially towards the end. Hope you like it :)


    Love this poem too as well by the way. Beautifully written. Spanish poems are always awesome.

    And yes, I know I should but I tend to think mainly in english. Thats why all except one of my poems is in English. But I have this book in spanish that I will be reading as soon as I'm done with the one I'm currently reading. I know that will stimulate my mind to think more in spanish.
    Please bare with me.

    Te prometo que voy ha escribir mas poemas en español :D

High-Class Noon

I turn my tongue green with a pint of mint listerine. A blistered knee. Eyes bleed from the passing of a centipede. Don't stand close to me I erupt in a millisecond, conforming into a catholic priest. I stand high underground. The sounds of an orchestra swimming in the mud with the sounds of an orca. I boast I had it all, but now I can only hope that they don't take away my last adderalls. Don't test with a number 2 pencil, give me a red pen so I can pencil him in. And they call me a backpacker. Hike up your mountain till I find the erupting fountain and go for a deep sea dive, only to come back to land in the space of a spaceship, blasting off with my sins. High-class noon, blast off past the moon with a fork and a spoon, I went too far; now I need to rewind so I can get my piece of the cake, in a cheesy plate. Its an arms race to the finish line, my A.K. is too heavy to glide across, I could only make it past half of the track. I had to make a pit stop and grab my Tech ...

Trapped in Dissolution

Her ability to feel no longer lingers from her inner chest| Replaced with an emotionless sense of the world around her steps| Instead of looking up she sees only the ground| Not the faces which once laughed and smiled| She built her own road to walk on| But nothing in the background| No grass| No trees| Only a deep black screen| Static hides the image| I once dreamt of where she would end| On a road with no hope| A slope hill heading down towards the abyss| I once heard laughter and joy created from those lips| Anger took her soul and wrapped itself around her shoulders never to let go|

Excavating Thoughts

Excavating thoughts purge the deep swell in an abundant forest filled with catacombs| Think not of what to say| Rather| Think of formations and placement for your words| The expression expedite hidden phrases| A realm in multitude of scenic shades| Which fill stains and covers from edge to edge| Put in motion a rehearsed visual| Captured for later interpretation and judgement| A glory outdrew| A painting foreseen inside that thought| Once emerged from a projector working its way from picture to sound| From sound to dialects| From dialects to expression| From expression to memorized interpretations or unsightly inked writings| Exclusive to emotional reincarnations| Contemplation and relegation amount heavy loads| To collapse the foundation in which laid heavy groundwork| Obscure water waves regulate the sounds of prejudgments| Before seen in the obscurity of the themes| Awake from the thankfulness of your mind| And enter into the depths of the b...
