On my way out of a Latino grocery score in Kenner (I was there to pick up some special cheese for AG&#8217;s sister, CG), some middle aged gentleman shoved a newpaper-like brochure in my hand, which I only realized a few seconds and steps later was a Spanish Protestant religious tract.

Just because I post things from non-Christian religions or from heretical or schismatic sources doesn&#8217;t mean that I think that they are salvific or true in any way. It just means that I find some roads to perdition more colorful than others.

¡Madre mía, tierra,
otra vez más verde,
más plena, más bella!
(Y yo, mientras, hijo
tuyo, con más secas
hojas en las venas).
¡Madre mía, tierra,
sé tú siempre joven,
y que yo me muera!
(Y tú, mientras, madre
mía, con más frescas
hojas en las piernas).
