Yesterday and today

Yesterday and today

Twenty years ago:
under the moon and the stars
there was talk of memories
of the ancestors around
of a campfire with smell
of sea foam.
Magic moments
where heaven marries the sea
On the ocher horizon.
Burning wood
Allow the adventures of ancestors.

In the present:
under a concrete roof
despair arises
in the few people
With the leather stuck to the bones.
Every day is a day of survival.
A town is kidnapped in their homes,
The crime is the owner of the streets.
We feel alone, alone from dawn to dusk

Espero que te encuentre bien.

Friend, it's wonderful to hear from you. How have you been. Here I am in sleep mode.

The poem is cut in half, not only by the title and the photo that separates the two parts, there are two events with a common result: there is no point of comparison between what is lived and what is being lived. The lyrical speaker concentrates his vision on the separation of the times as a leitmotif that generates depression: Today is depressing.
Well done, brother!

Still going strong brother. Greetings!

My regards, brother. I am glad to hear from you.
