An existentialist poem

Games


man is not the same. As a boy he is stronger.
always have a hand that guides you, and answer questions

yet ... then let you loose. Bad luck.

say that's life. I
to tell you the honest: I do not like.
could not love more than when I knew that
That slay death.

not know you, but I know your game.
Let me at my mercy, audio, blind,
With my love and my bones together. Soldier

involuntary
war already planned. Here bread and then land. This I'm still
. And no wonder.

(Manuel Alcántara, 1955)
