Whether forty thousand children succumb every day
in the purgatory of hunger and thirst
whether the torture of poor bodies
debases one by one to the souls
and whether the power boasts its quarantine
or whether the poor of solemnity
are less solemn and more poor every time
It is quite serious
that only a man
or a woman
contemplate distracted the neutral horizon
but on the other hand is appalling
simply appalling
whether it is the humanity who shrugs
Mario Benedetti
