Honoring life

Marilina Ross

Honrar la vida

Honrar la vida

No, permanecer y transcurrir no es perdurar,
no es existir, ni honrar la vida.
Hay tantas maneras de no ser,
tanta conciencia, sin saber, adormecida.
Merecer la vida no es callar y consentir
tantas injusticias repetidas.
Es una virtud, es dignidad,
y es la actitud de identidad más definida.

Eso de durar y transcurrir no nos da derecho a presumir
porque no es lo mismo que vivir honrar la vida

No, permanecer y transcurrir no siempre
quiere sugerir honrar la vida.
Hay tanta pequeña vanidad
en nuestra tonta humanidad enceguecida...
Merecer la vida
es erguirse vertical más allá del mal de las caídas.
Es igual que darle a la verdad
y a nuestra propia libertad la bienvenida...

Honoring life

Honoring life

No, to remain and pass by is not to endure,
it is not to exist, nor to honor life.
There are so many ways of not being,
so much consciousness, without knowing, numbed.
To deserve life is not to be silent and consent
to so many repeated injustices.
It is a virtue, it is dignity,
and it is the most defined identity attitude.

To endure and pass by does not give us the right to boast
because it is not the same as living to honor life.

No, to remain and pass by does not always
imply honoring life.
There is so much small vanity
in our foolish blinded humanity...
To deserve life
is to stand up vertically beyond the evil of falls.
It is the same as giving truth
and our own freedom a welcome...
