In appreciation of Mexican culture, I want to highlight the work of singer/songwriter, Chavela Vargas, who passed away in 2012 but whose voice still lives on via various venues, including YouTube. She had an amazing voice. To learn more about her, go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chavela_Vargas. One of my favorites from her is Gabino Barrera, which I first heard in the movie sound track for Werner Herzog’s My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done?. To listen to the song, click https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDvkwuO_3YU.

Phantom pain of amputees
Writhe with agony,

Good Friday
A day of reflection on Christ’s passion
Stations of the Cross depict man’s loss
Faith is a mystery, tested through our mortality.

Another day to memorialize
Tuesday 3/22/16
Acts of terror to desensitize.
An attack to all humanity
In the heart of Brussels,
Taking more lives again, senselessly.
When will it end?
Strike one, two, three,
Explosions in the airport and the metro station;
ISIS claims responsibility reprehensibility.
Nowhere to run from this hell storm,
Safety anywhere fast becoming a rarity,
Threats all over the world the new norm.
What will make it end?
While politicians rant,
And terrorists continue to rave.
We’re left to do the mourning chant:
How will it end?
