I always live at the extremes of this dream, hanging on to avoid falling, because it is a bizarre world, where the villains have a medal on the chest, walking with their eyes high, as always, they do not look at anything in their darkness and I just shut up and I keep pace seeing things from afar, as I am a hermit who wanders in the days that pass like water, water that does not quench the thirst of a thirsty people, the one that only mutters between teeth.
The only scream that is heard is that of the belly, that lady who speaks harshly even without being convenient, gossip who does not stop saying how the people are silent between their internal screams, flower, siren that you sing leads the passage to the water of another The way, there where the men who walk look at the floor, look at the floor Marcos, that old man who gave 60 years to children, he, collecting smiles as he walked, step that danced puppets, those artists who painted smiles on the portrait of infant memories.
Marcos, under that bajareque, home of love that does not buy luxury, but nothing luxurious, because the drops are many, many more than outside in the rain, rain, refresh the love of that old walker, collector of smiles, let him go again from school to school to paint many smiles, old man, yesterday your eyes were closed when they looked at the floor in that slow step that reflected the humility of your life, while the politician passed in his last model truck and splashed your feet with the mud, what irony for an artist.
The truth is that it is bullshit, what is seen in this dream, but there are many collectors of smiles who teach in their wake the painting of a landscape where walking, looking at the ground opens the door to another path, the one where the heart it is wealth, wealth that flourishes in the child's smile.
Marcos's toys ask that old man to return, because they want to go from theater to theater again to paint little black angels.
Una vez le hice una pregunta ¿Poeta, por qué dedicaste tu vida al trabajo cultural? y me dijo: porque la riqueza que busco no esta aquí en éste plano terrenal. después de eso siempre tengo esas palabras presentes, cuando analizo que ha sido de mi tiempo, mi vida hasta ahora y yo agrego que la naturaleza es parte de ese regalo que no se encuentra en éste plano, pues ella es mucho más que lo que miran algunos, es esa ventana al más allá, la vida que nos espera del otro lado es ser naturaleza que mira a los hombres andar diferentes caminos, luego de estar un rato allí, escuchando la historia que me dictaba aquel pájaro decidí escribirla, como siempre la voz me dicta cosas que decir, cuando estoy allí frente a la naturaleza mirando la sencillez de su grandeza.
Greetings earthlings. I hope they are well. Marcos, at that time I won that I write him a poem, one that I wanted to leave in my book. He, a man, an example of when the most difficult wealth to achieve is humility and it costs a lot economically, at least in this country (I clarify) a being who gave a lot and received little, but deserving of my admiration, because he achieved wealth that is not bought where you want. In many human beings there is a bad belief that good actions are not worthy of financial incentives, because (they think) it would be something like sacrilege, an opinion that I do not share, because I have watched many popular cultists die in extreme poverty, forever giving without receiving and as a creator, do you believe if you don't have support? it is redundant perhaps, but it is the truth, the good thing deserves much more support and you will see that it becomes easier to multiply. At that time I wondered why Marcos always walks looking at the floor? He is a man who is such a good person, many would think that a person who sees the apartment is because he is sorry, but after a few years I understood when analyzing life, that criminals always look ahead (I don't know why) it must be because They do not care about anything, only them and they are selfish (I think that) and I found myself these days looking at the ground for the first time and I understood that a man who looks at the ground when walking, is because he is constantly thinking of others, in how to give more whether for others, or for his loved ones, I finally understood, because Marcos always walked like this.

I once asked him a question, Poet, why did you dedicate your life to cultural work? and he told me: because the wealth that I seek is not here on this earthly plane. After that I always have those words present, when I analyze what has happened to my time, my life until now and I add that nature is part of that gift that is not found in this plane, because she is much more than what they look at Some, it is that window to the beyond, the life that awaits us on the other side is to be nature that watches men walk different paths, after being there for a while, listening to the story that that bird dictated to me, I decided to write it, as always voice dictates things to say to me, when I am there in front of nature looking at the simplicity of its greatness.
Un amigo me pregunto ¿es que estás loco, porqué siempre escribes la verdad, es qué no te importa que piensan las otras personas?
y yo le dije: escribir poesía para mí es eso: estar tan loco como para decir que fui al infierno en mi mente y regrese, pues caigo y me levanto en éste camino tan rudo que es la vida ¿y porqué no decir la verdad? pocos lo hacen así que seria original.Sí, el loco soy yo, y lo mejor es no bañarse, jajaja.
A friend asked me, is it that you are crazy, why do you always write the truth, it is that you don't care what other people think?

And I told him: writing poetry for me is that: being so crazy as to say that I went to hell in my mind and come back, because I fall and get up on this rough road that life is and why not tell the truth? Few do it so it would be original. Yes, I'm crazy, and the best thing is not to bathe, hahaha.
Nota-Note:
Bajareque-bahareque: it is a construction or wall that is made with a framework of rods, and covered with mud, which is prepared with chopped straw to make fiber and with greater strength, and with this they make mud houses in my country , mostly in earlier times, and they were typical Venezuelan houses, when they look at someone referring to a bajareque, they will be saying my old house, I grew up in a bajareuque, my little house, the one that showed me portals to other dimensions where I looked at entire streets of some towns and cities, I believe that this bajareque was the one who taught me to go to another dimension.
