Text in English
This metaphorical poem talks to us of widowhood, old age and of delirium when approaching death. Without You, is about desolation, that isolation which exists for the old; the great loss of what we have managed to achieve, have loved, and after all, probably the most important thing at this time, the contact from human to human. I think that even in the societies with a very high standard of living, resources are poor for those at the end of life, though old age is as natural to life as indeed, death is.
Frankly, economic investment is very important to deal with it, but it requires more urgently investment of moral, human and spiritual values. It is loneliness which pressurises my protagonist to chase the moon in search of answers and his/her low morale is due to lack of those opportunities for motivation that give him/her some dignity to face -or at least, the illusion of escaping- the isolating process provided by society for his/her old age. Sad as it is, this inevitable phase of life deserves far more awareness.
Texto En Español
Este poema metafórico nos habla de viudez, de senectud y de delirio en el procedimiento a morir. Sin Ti, representa desolación, aquel aislamiento que existe para el anciano; la gran pérdida de cuanto hemos sido, amado, y después de todo, tal vez lo más importante, el contacto de humano a humano. Pienso que aun en las sociedades de alto nivel de vida, los medios son pobres para aquellos que mueren de vejez, siendo la vejez tan natural de la vida, como lo es la muerte. La inversión económica es importante, pero más se requiere con urgencia, inversión moral y espiritual.
Es la soledad lo que presiona a mi personaje a aferrarse de la luna en busca de respuestas, y su baja moral es la falta de oportunidades que le permitan motivaciones y dignidad para hacer frente, -o por lo menos sentir escapar- el solitario proceso, proveído por la sociedad para su vejez tan triste como lo es, esta parte inevitable de la vida merece un trato mucho mas conciente.
