Confessional
God did not endow me with the gift of detachment.
I cannot detach myself from that,
or those, whom I loved in life.
They will be forever in my body
and my soul, with all the strength
with which they touched me.
They say I am sentimental,
which is no longer fashionable.
Psychologists, teachers, doctors,
there is no shortage of those who condemn
and exorcise me.
We entered long ago the era of business,
and pursuit, at any cost, of happiness
and individual pleasure,
a dangerous teaching that has been perpetrated.
As if this were an acquired right,
perhaps even a duty to fulfill.
I cannot breathe without the values I cherish,
love and affection for each and every one,
whom I have met in beloved our human race.
I do not intend to abandon my loves and desires,
which I conquered with such fervor along my path.
I will lie with them in the eternal sleep I am condemned,
they will give me sustenance and contentment, perhaps,
even forgiveness, for what I lacked in courage
to fight harder this impious and cruel world.

On Speaking of Inheritance
We live daily connected to the virtues,
but also, unfortunately, to the errors and failings
of our ancestors.
We are, still, a consequence of all those who once lived,
our ancestors or not,
brothers as they had been in our common human race.
We are sure that those who preceded us will be in eternity,
to which we are all condemned.
Some in rejoicing and peace, others penalized and repentant.
Let us not forget that, at this moment, we are a generation
that is representing all of our people, saint and sinner,
who have inhabited this solitary planet, in so gigantic a world.
Let each of us have the integrity and a clear conscience,
that we are directly responsible for the health and happiness
of all those who will succeed us.
They will be children who will be subject
to the legacy we are building.
(Published in The Wise Owl, Feb 2026)
