Galeano is <3

[arrowwhiskers]

Okay I know at this point, two entries in one day, it's 4.30 in the morning...I'm spamming. And putting off sleep. I confess.

But I was working on my presentation for LAS that I have to give on Thursday, and I found the most amazing poem:



The Nobodies

That are not, even though they are.
That don't speak languages, but rather dialects.
That don't practice religions, but rather superstitions.
That don't make art, but rather craftwork.
That don't practice culture, but rather Folklore.
That aren't human beings, but rather human resources.
That don't have a face, but do have arms.
That don't have a name, but rather a number.
That don't figure into the universal story, but rather into the tabloids of the local press.
The Nobodies, who cost less than the bullet that kills them.

--Eduardo Galeano

This is just one of the bazillion poems/works I'd love to share. But this one wins out at the moment because it comes in pretty photo form.
