Nature is Calm
Alfredo Coro

 

I left my place knowing nature is calm
A day went by… I heard a storm is coming
The next morning, the wind became violent
Now people are missing, houses are down
No one to talk to, no one knows
I came back flying, I came back
The day after, I walked, I saw, I cried
Mother Earth’s fury, the might
No time to grieve, to mourn
We must eat, we must fight, we…
Another day again,
nature is calm

This is one of the many poems that emerged from the workshops. Read more.
