Steemit Open Mic Week 122 / "Free" (Cover Dedicated to Venezuela)

Happy week for the whole community that lives in the Open Mic contest! Many who follow my work through this platform already know that I am Venezuelan, and they must also be aware that this has been a crucial week for my country. For this reason I have decided to participate with a song that tells a true story.

This code that I want to dedicate to Venezuela is original of the Spanish interpreter Nino Bravo, entitled Libre, and he recorded it in 1972. In it he tells us about the dream of the young Peter Fechter, who in life yearned to cross the Berlin wall and savor the freedom for the first time.

The story of this famous wall of shame tells that Peter, along with his friend Helmut Kulbeik planned for a long time to escape from the side of the city where they lived and jump the wall, however, the day they finally risked were visualized by the soldiers who watched the wall and shot them. His friend was able to cross this barrier to freedom, but Peter was mortally wounded in the attempt.

Even so, this young man had the short happiness of breathing the air of the democratic side of Berlin, since when he fell to the ground he did it in an area that was known as no man's land. Peter did not die instantly, but none of the guards on either side of the wall came to help him out of fear of being attacked by the other side.

It was not until 50 long minutes that he gradually bled to death that a soldier from the Democratic Republic of Germany approached him and took him to help him, but it was too late and he died a few minutes later, but I am sure that in his agony he was happy, because he died "Free".
