Un día me cansé


Yo tomé el fusil y no porque fuera cubana
ni sandinista...
si apenas yo me tentaba el alma.

Yo lo tomé porque era como la esperanza
la única salida,
la última guinda entre matanzas

Yo tomé el fusil no por acalorada, ni comunista
fue cuando se fue la niebla,
despuntando el alba, que se me aclaro la vista

Yo lo tomé porque quise pelear por mi tierra
por lo que era mío y nuestro, desde antes,
mucho antes de esta guerra.

Guazapa

Do to some weekend projects and work I've been involved lately in Suchitoto, a small town situated at a bit more than 50 kms. from San Salvador the capital of El Salvador, this book really was screaming to me to having it read. Guazapa is an old volcano which it's particular and tropical beauty gives Suchitoto and other towns near by a very beautifull sensation of nature and history as well. Guazapa is also the name of the last book I've read and I can gladly recomend to read 'cause in the domain of historical-political issues, is the first book I've founded that takes in count different sides of salvadorians civir war tragedy. It's not a unilateral speach (ideologically speaking) and thats, actually one of the principal characteristics I could point for recomending it. The author is an "united-statian" doctor who served as M.D. during some years in a war front controlled by the guerilla. In the books gadget there is a link to an interview a journalist made him in the context of the new salvadorian governement's arrival to power this year.
