No shield

By espacioreal | elespacioreal | 8 Nov 2023

We will not be the mediums
of our dead.
we will not ride
their vindicatory exploits,
we will not charge
with the guilt of Macbeth,
of having murdered the king.
We are simple passersby
of this time.
Without spear.
Without sword.
No shield.
Finite organisms. mortals,
lacking the capacity
oracular to predict
if it will dawn tomorrow.
Be aware of our reality
will set us free...
Even at the cost of dispossession.
