Las cosas que yo he visto

LAS COSAS QUE YO HE VISTO Cuántas veces en mi vida viendo pasar a la gente, me he preguntado si soy de otro planeta o debí nacer en otro momento he visto un hombre fatigado, que por ser negro no se le dio alojamiento y he visto negar la comida a un muchacho que hambriento imploraba caridad. Cuándo el mundo al fin segará las flores que son del mal y solo germine al sol de la Paz lo que quiero sembrar, la verdad. He visto a un hombre pobre arrodillado ante un rico y he visto asesinar a otro por el solo delito de se extranjero he oído a la gente gritar que su Dios es el único que vale y a un hombre matar, creyendo purificarse ¡Esos no lograrán la Paz de sus almas. Cuándo el mundo al fin segará las flores que son del mal y solo germine al sol de la Paz lo que quiero sembrar, la verdad. Cuántos hay que al final morirán sobre sus camas humildes, en sus chozas miserables, sin dinero para comprar ni siquiera el calmante que mitigue sus dolores. Verán un día mis ojos, disiparse las tinieblas del odio, en una aurora prometida sobre mi tierra del amor, la tierra... donde yo debí nacer. Cuándo el mundo al fin segará las flores que son del mal y solo germine al sol de la Paz lo que quiero sembrar, la verdad. | THINGS I HAVE SEEN So many times in my life I look at my people and say that I must be from another earth, or at least from another day. I've seen a man because he was black not be allowed to sleep, and I've seen this man, when he was hungry, not be allowed to eat. When will they learn before they do harm to search for the truth throughout, and only through searching this whole world o'er will they find what the world is about. I've seen a man, because he was poor, bow to another man, and I've seen a man kill another just because he was from another land. I've seen men who thought their god was better than all the rest kill a man just to save his soul - I doubt if in peace they rest. When will they learn before they do harm to search for the truth throughout, and only through searching this whole world o'er will they find what the world is about. I've seen many people with disease, and many times death did come just because the man was poor, and the doctor he wouldn't come. I hope before I leave this earth that I'll be able to find a land where the people love instead of hate, a land that I can call mine. When will they learn before they do harm to search for the truth throughout, and only through searching this whole world o'er will they find what the world is about. |
