Sentimiento Nacional

Painting by Carlos Francisco
Over 300 years of slavery from Spain

Like a torn soldier
In heap ruin of —

debris
and sharp rubles —

Splattered blood
On disfigured wall —

Painful wails
Of agony —

That couldn’t able to stay
On their knee —

When all else
Fail —

Among
The carcasses —

And wounded
Soul —

You still standing
Unbroken —

Deteriorated yet
Unbowed —

Unwavering
Through ages —
