  • Soccer

    It’s Sunday afternoon.

    The sun is on the horizon.

    People on the streets with flags and t-shirts.

    The stadium is empty but, soon, thousands of voices will sing as one voice.

    The court is so green and so beautiful like a farm in spring.

    the court excitedly waiting to hear that goool!

    Defeat doesn't go through our minds,

    we live for football and victory.

    Our players are never alone.

    We, the fans will always accompany them.

    Years go by, but this feeling will remain.

    This feeling is priceless and our team knows it.

    We always want to win and become champions too.

    Soccer is what makes us live

    Soccer is what makes us give

    Soccer is the start of it all

    Soccer is way better than the mall

    all dying of excitement to win

    even those who we did not think would arrive.

  • Ode to Cops

    We watched as you killed Dilan Cruz

    We watched as you killed Javier Ordóñez

    We watched as you killed 16 civilians in Bogotá.

    Sure, you claim there are just a few bad apples,

    But A SINGLE ONE could spoil the whole bunch.

    We watched as you pushed the people to agree with you.

    We watch your black uniforms of death.

    As soon as we see you we are afraid.

    We watch you and your forces of darkness repress.

    We heard the banging bullets all around Colombia.

    We know that you are not here to protect and serve,

    But to add a little touch of repression.

    Isn’t it ironic how you claim to protect and serve,

    even though the only thing you protect is wealth and the state?

    You are as greedy as snakes.

    You turn the lifely color green into a deadly mix of oppression and censorship.

    You turn a fight for justice into blood and tears.

    You are pawns of the state, you are not who you think you are.

    Why the protective gear, if you are the ones who shoot first?

    You turn debates into wars.

    You turn protests into bloodbaths.

    You flip your jacket.

    You cover your badge.

    You become the slave of your uniform and your beloved institution.

    Doesn’t matter if you witness a crime

    if you don’t witness the rot inside of your institution.

    Thanks to you,

    Fighting for justice in Colombia is a death sentence.

    Wanting real peace is a death sentence.

    We watch, we heard, we now know

    The lies you’ve told everyone.

    We know about the countless innocents you killed.

    There is a big question.

    It isn't “What can we do about it?”

    It is “What CAN’T we do about it”

    “From a slave patrol, to a police force”

  • Untitled Poem

    My helmet blinds my thoughts and makes me obey the orders that put my integrity at risk,

    Green and rough is my Helmet and it’s as heavy as the conscience I deal with, between

    My chest my military plate is so people identify me, I’ve seen unseen, seen

    What will traumatize me for thousands and thousands of years, non-stop machines

    Roll In the fields, my shirt has the flag of my country and with honor I wear it,

    The shirt represents my loyalty to the country, and the protection that it transmits.

    my gun as cold as the weather, loaded and heavy, all I can think is about the gun

    with the hunger of killing, it protects mi foot and are large and are made of leather, stunned and amazed I am for the things I’ve seen, my future generations will be safe and love their country y grew with, and not live in a country in war, corruption, and blood.

  • The Devil Faced Warriors

    A strong slashing sword hits in the fight, as the wind passes by. Attacking red as blood, black as death, while the enemy takes his last breath. Enemy’s attacks, strong as steel, while the leather armor doesn’t even feel. Warriors of honor and victory, their training life has a lot of history. People of passive words, but aggressive in war, but their feelings are grey as fog.

    Person of light-dark leather, and weakening strong metal, they would murder, only for honor. Humans of martial arts, stealthy as a cat, would do anything, for the country of the rising red round sun. Protected by their “Kabuto” and “Do”, and because of this, in battle, they win without a wound. And if they lose, they have no choice, instead of committing “seppuku”.

    Armors of vast small leather scale garment. With spiky shape, and flawless fabric, the “tetsu” is too strong, that’s why the fighter is harmless. The armor has too much history, part still a mystery, and that makes it more interesting. A very threatening appearance, but curious too, he could slash you, in the blink of my eye.

  • Never away, even if you are not okay

    White as snow

    So clean that it glows

    Never leave your patient alone, even when they’re gone

    This uniform shows what the nurses carry on


    Day by day, never getaway

    There when you survive also when you die

    Each symbol, depending on the place,

    but it represents what we fight every day


    Every day, someone dies

    Every day, someone survives

    Every day is a new day which means they all need to fight until the end

    No matter what, no matter how the nurses are your friend


    So comfortable such as heaven

    This uniform is the one that cures Evan

    Who is Evan? Even the one that survives each treatment

    This patient is the one, the one that wants to live, the one that survives


    don’t be a stick in the mud, he said

    In the past, because he is puff* dead

    The one died, the one that survives had a happy life

    In all this the nurses uniform was part of it, and we are thankful for each arrive
