POEM - EPIC OF A WOMAN

EPIC OF A WOMAN
ALONDRA GUTIÉRREZ VARGAS
Costa Rica

Epic epic of dreams, weeping earth, when it should be dancing to long and flowery verses.
Silences that must not silence the songs of boys and girls.
Hexameter, which must crown all women.
Flag of social justice and equity.
Social prose awakening consciences.
No more narratives of extensive transcendental actions, where life doesn't return home.
Where memory isn't lost to immortalize each heroine in press releases.
Women who are life and pay with death, being innocents who wear themselves out in battles, virtues and esteem of sequins.
Angelic Seductions
where the love that cannot be bought is idealized, because the madness of the aggressor who
overthrows identity with a femicide perfumed with a smile and lipstick of hypocrisy has washed his hands and soiled his conscience.
Support for a woman who emancipates herself, to raise her voice against the weakness of all systems.
Mutilated bones, a skin suit descending to earth.
Meanwhile, there are houses with tears and a sky that collapses, demanding judgment...
We no longer want dead women.
We don't want empty homelands, wearing black dresses and white dresses with lace trim and songs of indifference!
