Hello!
Poema

deadwrong Walt Whitman in 1865

By JulioSueco
17 October 2013 1 Min Read

Hay dí­as más importantes que otros.

Hoy es un dí­a de esos. Dí­as en que uno se percata de multitudes de cosas y de lo efí­mero que las cosas son. Se percata uno de la insignificancia que la existencia brinda y que al final todo queda en un sí­mbolo cuya interpretación queda fuera de nuestro alcance.  El más allá tiene una puerta que no permite retorno alguno. Así­ que los que quedamos en este mundo manipulamos los restos de nuestros antepasados y nos imaginamos una verdad imposible de comprobar o verificar. El pasado, notamos hoy, esta sujeto a negociación.

No que eso sea de gran envergadura en sí­. Solo notamos que el destino aka el futuro, también está sujeto a negociación.  Esta era deberí­a ser de la del Hoy. Hoy decimos no a nuestros sentimientos, a esas voces que nos alientan a seguir ciertos caminos, hoy, decimos: yo mando.

Yo mando. Así­ de simple. O Captain, my Captain!
