From River to the Sea: Part Two
Everything rolls with revolving mysteries
From ancient times.
The voice of a thousand vultures accompany their campaigns
to rob them of their land; they author their own disgrace.
The calm of this valley between the river and the sea is
disturbed by a new tumult.
What I am saying here is not out of place.
Since this fable is about,
of a nation who in the waves of repression
has ended its fate with a deplorable conclusion.
Yet, a trickle is heard. Shyly the river of resistance
jostles to make its way through the rocks.
