On The Enternal city of God

It is said that God is everywhere, but He attend his meetings in Buenos Aires (Argentina). And probably there is no holly city as Jerusalem, which includes the last Wall of The Solomon's Temple (supposedly where the Alliance's Haul was laid), the plane of Mosques, where Mohammed abandoned the earth with Arcangel St. Gabriel, and the Golgoth, the Calvary Mount and the Saint Grave of our Lord, who came back from death in third day... But above all cities, non is like Rome. A beautiful city. An ancient one too. We know that it was founded in year 753 B.C by Romulus and his mob of rapists, thieves, and murderers. At the very beginning of their History, Roman were (according to Octavian Cesar) strong and ferocious, but also were lonely and gross creatures... And men. They were only men. No single woman among the tribe, and this could be a problem when the time comes, not just because of necessities, but also for reproduction of the species.

Romulus understood that, and sent his men to search for fertile and young women that they could use as wives. So Roman arrived to the Sabinian Tribe, whose women were perfect... And they abducted them, which caused a lot of problems of course, but finally, The Roman got their wives and the tribe could thrive, in fact it became part of the ritual when a wedding happened in Rome: first the ancient swore "ubi tu Gaius, ego Gaia (there where you be Gaius, I will be Gaia)", and during the celebration, the husband had to "kidnape" the wife from her mother's arms.  It seems pretty funny, isn't it?

Rome is ancient. And as an old and big city ("the eternal city"), she has seen lots of things, lots of years, centuries... It was in Rome where Peter, (prima Petra Christiane Ecclesiae) established the cult of Christ and God after his Master was crucified. And that church, The Church, thrived and survived the fall of Western Empire after Romulus Augustulus was dethroned. The Bishop of Rome, recognized as the Pontifex Maximus, and Supreme Leader of Christiandom, Christ's envoy, Peter's Succesor etc etc, became into His Holliness, and ruled the city and Vatican States for a millenia. Today his soil is far reduced... But his power (specially among the believers) still being very big.

A regular man

There is a story about a man . Just a regular man, not specially tall, or smart, or funny. An average man. As any other man in the world, he had a father, and also a mother. He loved his mother and his mother loved him. He deeply hated his father, and his father hated him. His mother was a kind woman, always smiling, always tender. The father was a terrible person. He beat his son, insulted him... That man despised his son. Several years later, when the man of our history was 30 or 35 years old, the mother died. That kind and tender mother who had loved him and who had cared for him, simply passed away. During the burial, trying to remember things he had in common, or beautiful memories of her, the man discovered himself totally incapable of crying. And even more several years later, when our man was 50 years old, his father passed away. That terrible father who had made our man's life miserable, who had beaten him, caught a fatal condition, and died. But in the father's fu...

I'm inside sadness

I'm inside sadness, which is a time And a space, and a soul devoured by another ghost soul which hasn't been. Nothing or anyone pains inside sadness, meanwhile slow days get longer And their darkness kingdoms Drown from "Soy en mayo". A poem by National Poetry Awarded Julio Martínez Mesanza

The throne room

300 years ago, there was a great warrior, who united seven kingdoms in one single Crown. The warrior had a beast. A black great monstrous dragon. The dragonfire melted down a thousand blades, and forged a throne, so high that it touched the roof of the great room, inside a Red Fortress. Today, the king is not a warrior, not a ruler. He is just a kid. And kids are not good enough to be kings. The kingdom is ruled by King's advisors, like his grandfather, a powerful landlord from the west. There are others. An old Master of the Citadel, with a chain carrying rings of gold and silver. And there are two men. Two smart and powerful men, who came from nothing. Men from nothing are the most dangerous of every men. Those who have nothing to lose, have nothing to fear. These men like and hate one each other. And that is the key of today's story. A lesson one though the other. In the throne room. The two men look the Iron Throne. "A thousand blades... Taken from the hands of Kin...
