The Nobodies



The Nobodies
Eduardo Galeano

Fleas dream of buying a dog,
and nobodies dream of escaping poverty,
rain that one magical day good luck suddenly, it rains cats and dogs
good luck;
but good luck does not rain yesterday or today
,
or tomorrow, or ever
,
or drizzle falls from the sky good luck,
much that no one calls
and although they left hand itches,
or raise the right foot,
year or start a new broom.

The nobodies: nobody's children, owners of nothing.

The nobodies: none, none,
running like rabbits, dying through life, screwed
,
rejodidos.

Who are not, but could be.
Do not speak languages, but dialects.
Not religions, but superstitions.
It do not make art, but handicrafts.
Do not have culture, but folklore.
Who are not human beings, but human resources.
Do not have faces, but arms.
Do not have a name, but numbers.
not listed in world history, but in the crime reports in the local press.

The nobodies, who are not worth the bullet that kills them.
