BIOGRAPHY
His name was never written
on the old walls of the school john.
When he left the classroom for good
nobody noticed he was gone.
The sirens of the world kept silent,
never detecting his blood on fire.
His fiery intensity
became more and more unbearable,
until the shadow of the mountains
embraced the sound of his footsteps.
That virgin land nurtured him with its mystery.
Each breeze cleansed his ideal
and left him like a child, naked and white
trembling, newly bathed.
The whole world was deaf, and where
the battle began to be born
no one listened.
