RE: ADSactly Poetry - When poets speak of the homeland...
I love finding your letters that describe with such passion and precision the topics that you expose in this blog for us, your followers, @nancybriti. The selection of poems that you have made on this occasion seems very illustrative because it allows us to see the homeland from different instances, both physically and sentimentally.
I think that the most nostalgic expatriation is that which occurs within our own walls, as is the specific case of present-day Venezuela - a sinister example - where that oppressive and malignant self-styled "21st century socialism" has I have left without space within the home. It has pushed us into the streets of exile, weather and hunger (as Julio Cortázar narrates in that wonderful tale that is Casa Taken, metaphor of tyrannical governments) and has finally forced hundreds of thousands, millions of Venezuelans to flee from the despair towards the uncertain territories of exile.
Hopefully very soon in the country we can get out of this nightmare and return to the democratic path to walk with joy the paths for freedom.
Thank you, @nancybriti, for your noble work and @adsactly for publishing it.
Have no doubt, @oacevedo! That day will come. And we will celebrate when our brothers, sons, friends, return to our country. This history will be commented by the books, made poems and stories, as a history that we must never repeat, as a sad chapter but that has come to an end. It is a pleasure to always read your comments, poet. Thank you.
