Strength

Walking in the streets
Watching different faces
Different smiles
Different religions
Made me feel that they were racist
All the other people were different than me...

Walking around the streets
I saw beautiful flowers
All with different colors they were wet like if it was raining...

Beautiful faces all around me
Big smiles on their faces
All wit different expressions all shocked...

Walking around Alameda,
Everything was silent,
There was only the sounds of the Cars
The air blowing towards me with all its strength
People tried to defeat the air..
They tried !! and tried and keep on trying until the air calmed down,
At least... WE WERE SAFE!!
