Poem
Armando Orozco Tovar
EXAMPLE
In the struggle has to be victoryhidden in forms,
like the face
behind the mirror.
On any day can be your battle
and in every corner a dream
or a lance awaits you.
Do not aspire to vanquish
if you have not wiped off
the rust corroding the swords in your soul.
Nor aspire to die,
for death needs another example.

EJEMPLO
EJEMPLO
En la lucha ha de estar la victoria,Escondida en las formas,
Como está el rostro
Detrás de los espejos.
Cualquier día puede ser tu batalla
Y en cada rincón te espera
Un sueño o una lanza.
No aspires a vencer,
Si no has limpiado tus espadas,
El óxido que corroe en tu alma los aceros.
Tampoco a morir,
La muerte necesita de otro ejemplo.
