Mexico

Mexico

Mexico is not a country for usual visitors,

eagles and snakes can become easily your Inquisitors.

The people in Mexico celebrate joyfully the day of the death,

when i arrived there , a smiling skull greeted me friendly , he was wearing a wreath.

 

"Welcome to the place of the ghoasts ,

we just want to be your friends,

give us your soul, this way our friendship never ends."

 

I continued my trip without saying anything.

The smiling skull made me be aware of everything.

Walking down the streets, everyone seemed to me suspicious 

Even the the young , beautiful waitress who served me a lunch that was spicy and delicious .

 

The taxi driver just wanted to know my direction,

I wondered if he intends to take an evil action.

Policemen walked through the streets with guns.

"Should i trust them?"

In this country, you can not trust even the nuns.

 

You feel a latent threat 

that sometimes takes you the breath

noone can See it, noone can hear it

but everyone fear it.

"Who knows if i would be able to fly back

or my mother will wear black"

 

 

After some days of adventure , through desert and mountains, i reached the ocean and watched the blue

I was overhappy , i felt peace and freedom strongly , these feelings were something new.

 

Mexico showed me its beautiful side,

The ocean was smooth and the stars bright.

dogs were playing on the beach,

Señoras were waiting for the fishermen and their fish haul that was rich.

 

Late in the evening, the night life was starting,

My friend Valeria invited me to a club for partying.

Topless girls were dancing polo and heating up the atmosphere,

the people were drinking tequila and touching themself eroticly here.

 

At the break of the dawn an eagle flew by,

 i said to Mexico " Good bye".

 When my plane took off, I felt grief and relief

 Mexico strengthened my belief.

    I am in Texas. Many of my dearest friends' families came from Mexico. I love that country so much. It wakes up parts of you you had forgotten or neglected. Fear, awe, lust, freedom, sweat, fruit, earth, sounds, sights... such a stunning and tragic country. You got it all just right.
