Long-term persecution Mistrust replaces the warm embrace The meek became wolves from one day to the next And they blame each other for justifying the failure . And everyone point the finger at others , but no one defies No one condemns the abuse by a police officer . Nobody wants to go through what happened someday to The mothers of my brothers Berta and Regla MarĂ­a . With what cowardice this madness is compared You lively march , but afraid of height And in the heights of the Ministry of Culture Rap and reality are still censored in Cuba . Pure demagogy , lodge of corrupt people Justifications that are nothing more than an insult They call us cultivated people without understanding that a story does not end with commas , but always with a period marking the final point . You can take a stand , but the advantage is taking by those who control and deal the game cards The casket at the wake indicates the one who prepares , In cold-blood , ideologies that do not make us equal . And more front-pages for newspapers that do not inform More double standard parading on the carpet Champions of the resistance trying to fetch the bread They have their trophies hidden in the caiman ' s ass . And they will continue so as long as they do not sow ideas They must remove the weeds from the garden of our village Pioneers for I do not know what , we will be like that one Since childhood they instill the fear of boss into us . To know how to read you must understand what is read To be a creator you must understand what is created To know what is freedom you must have it in your bones You must be free and to be free you must fight . Walking on a sterile path causes fear The land that is not plowed , although it receives the rain and the sunlight , Turns into a swamp and only with your sweat It will bear fruit after seeds , roots , stems and flower .
At the time of concluding , the musical themes Down the Difference and My Wife Commands were performed . The latter was well received among the female attendees , since it relates how our girlfriends make our life impossible . With a kind of reversed machismo , it uses phrases of Creole humor and establishes somewhat crazy comparisons . We managed to draw more than a smile . The real objectives were to make people understand that women play an important role as part of society and also to ridicule our so lacerating machismo . Applauses , laughs and reflection . To our surprise , a man smartly dressed who used exact wording excitedly said : " A nice presentation , guys ." Other attendees commented that everything had gone well . All of them were full of joy because the event was successfully held , since there is always a risk of censoring on the spaces where taboos of our society are generally tackled .
