Nueva Realidad, Nuevos comportamientos. . . . Contexto: Últimamente he estado hablando con diferentes personas acerca de los comportamientos que se nos quedará después de esta "guerra" pandemia. Le pregunté va varios extranjeros que opinaban de la moda en las mascarillas, curiosamente nadie de los que viven en países "del primer mundo" me han comentado nada de estilos para mascarillas (al contrario me cuentan de gente usando cubetas en su cabeza lol) mientras que aquí he notado ya varios emprendimientos. Me parece algo muy interesante y veo como se vuelven más y más creativos. ¿Qué opinan al respecto? . . . . #covid19 #honduras #mask #womanofillustration #lenca #procreate (en Honduras) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAyIbsuHqBW/?igshid=1n77mi4sre6d3

Brown Child’s Blood

The brown child in me cries.

If we’re intertwined,

Never living just for ourselves,

But connected to everyone else,

Why do we then live alongside torture,

And why do we stand for the violence?

You don’t?

Let me tell you;

If you are not fighting yourself,

And winning,

To get up and take action against it,

Then you are living for it,

I call you to prick your finger,

Examine the color of your blood,

And tell me the crimson in you,

Does it not mirror the crimson in me?

Does your skin hide your blood?

Or does it contain your oppressor eating spirit!!!
