Pending births

“Mary, from whom Jesus was born, also called Christ” (Mathew 1, 16)

Humanity devoid of ancestral resentments;
any politics making true speeches;
religions accompanying discreet miracles;
the market no longer sacrificing victims;
the specific solidarity without the need of press conferences;
the general interest in people’s mouth;
governments demolishing frontiers;
technology only as a tool;
life as a shared path and no competitive;
death as a necessary step;
the family as the cart from which everyone pulls;
Christmas as a humble manger;
happiness as a tangible dream;
fears as possible companions.

Pending births of babies
who push to put their heads out
and start to cry with an incomprehensible and
unstoppable strength.

(Toño Martínez)
