Inicio de 2010

Para este año 2010, no pretendo cubrir muchas cosas nuevas o hacer grandes propósitos, simplemente mejorar lo que ya existe y eso me parece que es bastante.

Hay un tema que traté algunas veces el año pasado en esta bitácora, el de la esclavitud moderna, que toma muchas formas y que últimamente ha aparecido varias veces en los medios de difusión de este país. Incluso he visto varias veces propaganda al respecto en la parte de atrás de algún bus del transporte colectivo.

En mi caso, quiero mantener el tema vivo en mi vida cotidiana. Es ahí donde entra esta canción interpretada por Solomon Burke, que además quiero compartir en este espacio.

None of us are free.

Solomon Burke

Well you better listen my sister's and brothers,

'cause if you do you can hear

there are voices still calling across the years.

And they're all crying across the ocean,

and they're cryin across the land,

and they will till we all come to understand.

None of us are free.

None of us are free.

None of us are free, one of us are chained.

None of us are free.

And there are people still in darkness,

and they just can't see the light.

If you don't say it's wrong then that says it right.

We got try to feel for each other, let our brother's know that we care.

Got to get the message, send it out loud and clear.

(Chorus)

It's a simple truth we all need, just to hear and to see.

None of us are free, one of us is chained.

None of us are free.

now I swear your salvation isn't too hard too find,

None of us can find it on our own.

We've got to join together in spirit, heart and mind.

So that every soul who's suffering will know they're not alone.

(Chorus)

If you just look around you,

your gonna see what I say.

Cause the world is getting smaller each passing day.

Now it's time to start making changes,

and it's time for us all to realize,

that the truth is shining real bright right before our eyes.

(Chorus and Fade)

Que el 2010 sea un mejor año para todos ustedes
