I smiled,
anxious and guilty:
I...
I want a son
in our place
daughters are born enslaved
just born to see traditions and tragedies
slaves
they live too long and too painfully
I can't die
leaving my daughter behind
to live
like that
--
She smiled back,
embarrassed and sad:
well, I...
I want a daughter
in our country
sons are born enlisted
just born to see wars and wounds
soldiers
they live too little and too painfully
I can't live
watching my son
die before me
like that
