About Me

ABOUT ME

Hola, my name is Guadalupe Vanessa (Lupita, para los amigxs) I'm from mexico, I'm friendly, tolerant, respectful, nice.
I think what this world needs is love with love things could be better ...
I like the worldview of the indigenous peoples of Latin America, particularly, the descendants of the Mayans who live in the state of Chiapas in the southeast of my beautiful country, Mexico.
In my country, I am study environmental law, I am interest in human rights, specifically the rights of indigenous peoples.

PHILOSOPHY

Why We sing?

If every hour comes with its death
if time is a den of thieves
the airs are no longer good airs
and life is nothing more than a moving target

you might ask, why do we sing?

if our bravos are left without support
our homeland dies from sorrow
and the heart of man is smashed to pieces
even before the shame explodes

you might ask, why do we sing?

if we're as far away as the horizon
and if over there were left the trees and the sky
if every night is always some sort of absence
and if every waking is a missed encounter

you might ask, why do we sing?

We sing because the river is calling
and when the river calls, the river calls
we sing because cruelty has no name
and in change its destiny has a name

we sing because the child and because all
and because someday and because the people
we sing because the survivors
and our dead want us to sing

we sing because to shout is not enough
and the crying and the cursing is not enough
we sing because we believe in people
and because we will defeat failure

we sing because the sun recognizes us
and because the fields smell of spring
and because in this stalk in that fruit
every question has its answer

we sing because it rains over the furrows
and we are the militants of life
and because we neither want nor can
allow the song to be turned to ashes.
