The dying Canal
There is a canal
in front of my home.
It reeks of human waste,
it reeks of human ignorance.
The water is pitch black
like the hair of the woman
who passes by it every day
to meet end's meet.
The surface is covered with
plastic, sometimes you can't
even fathom underneath that
plastic, there is a substance
that created life.
It isn't bewildering,
as I've seen a person
who created a life,
don't hesitate to ruin that.
Why should nature be different?
Sometimes,
when I am in my balcony
I see the canal and get lost
in this utopian dream
that I will someday save it.
But when I am walking near it,
I forget about the death
of the canal.
Because just like others
who walk past this canal
I have a soul inside me
that is dying too.
