This is my ninety-third entry for the Steemit School of Poetry 100 Days Challenge.
DERELICT
We come from the siege
from the wire fence
from behind bars
We come from the potholed streets
from the rusty ruins
We come from the fractured bridge
from the derelict vehicles
We come from the aground ships
from the empty swimming pools
from the wheel-less bikes
We come from the bread-less bakeries
And the shoe-less shoe stores
We come from the incongruousness
that lies in the subsoil
We come from the shattered promise
from the pinata-less,
cake-less children party
from the laughter with no audio
from the smile without video
we come from Venezuela
Where are we going?

NOTES
This poem needs no explanation.
Imágenes que vienen a reforzar, la ruina en la que está el país, @sansoncarrasco. El sinsentido de las palabras y la vida. En nuestro país parece ser que el mejor analgésico es no tener expectativas de nada: no esperar que haya pan en las panaderías, que no haya dinero en los bancos, para que cuando haya, agradecerle a Dios. Así como esa imagen, me imagino que está nuestra piel por la lucha de todos los días. Soy de abrazar fuerte para sentir el corazón del otro. Con este poema siento tu latir.

No hay espacio que se escape de la desidia... frase cierta aquella de que "lo que es del común, es del ningún" y ya sabemos lo que le pasa a lo que no tiene dolientes...

Qué terrible este poema, cada verso una tristeza venezolana. Abandonado el país, abandonadas nuestras esperanzas. ¿A dónde vamos? pensarlo me pone triste. Ay, qué dolor de país, @sansoncarrasco.

Dolorosamente cierto,
dolorosamente incierto
el futuro de nuestros hijos es,
lo cierto queda poco
vas por el noventa y tres.
Siempre dando una vuelta por aqui y saludando por allá

Your poetry is filled with meaning and i feel your pain and frustration as to my understanding that's what this piece is mainly about
I'm from Nigeria and the troubles that greet us everyday is exceedingly great
We eat from the bread-less bakeries
like i said earlier everyone one of your sentences holds great meaning for it's everywhere strife and feeling of dread but we will continue to fight we will not succumb. No we shall not.
Great piece friend until next time
