The good is gone

The good is gone
It was not for long
Forever planted seeds
On the boisterous sea

Cuando todo se vaya


No hay nada nuevo
Todo es lo mismo
El año viene y va
Como la vida
Como humanos
Como yo

Lo que empiece terminará
Donde termine empezará
No hay final
Sólo
El comienzo
El final es el comienzo

Y cuando todo se vaya
Sólo se quedarán
Su toca
Su beso
Su palabra
Su memoria

¡Viva Ghana y México!
¡Viva La Embajadora María de Los Angeles!
¡Viva la prosperidad y la felicidad en nuestro nuevo año!




Dedicado a Su Excelencia,
La Embajadora de México en Ghana
durante el día del Nuevo año

Just the way you are


I have found a treasure in you
My honey Queen and sweet wine you are
I have waited for this day which came
Like sunshine through my rain
The choice is made and I will gladly keep
The lady after my heart I’ll tell you this
Hold my hands hold me tight
These two things I promise to always do
That your heart will know no pain
And mine will see no fault in you
If you be mine and mine alone
Only to love you
Just the way you are

Be A Hero

Heroes will dare
Heroes won’t care
Even if to use all they have
To peacefully register a concern
They are not terrorists, opportunists
They are always for the good
Never for themselves alone
They are never known
Until they are out
They walk among us
With challenges too
Yet a piece of them
Will always make the world go on

Mental Health is key


Between day and night
joy and pain
Between earth and sky
seen and unseen
Between peace and suffering
friends and enemies
Between you and I
there is no health
without mental health


Encouragement

Encouragement is to have the courage to move on

Show me the way


Suffocating yet enduring
suffering yet rejecting a hand that cares
only to seek and pursue peace
only to avoid the repetition of the dark past
like a sinister smile
waiting the appropriate time to strike
Show me the way and I will walk in it
to free myself from this hold
this chain that entangles me
This shame that marks me
like the name I bear
a mark of a tribe
yet alien to it
