HARDERIA

For all the beatings received, Hardened
Recovered to endure the abuse again

Our human condition, Our sentence

For all the beatings received,
Hardened skin, Hardened feelings
Risen to fall again

(Our) Obligatory experience
(Our) Obligatory emotional journey
(Our) Educational pain
(Our) Educational agony

For all the beatings received, Inflicted
Fallen and risen, Experienced

Harderia! Fountain of water from the eyes, Washed through time
Dissolves the heart of stone
Harderia!
The hardery of the hardest feeling to bear
Harderia!
Softens the hardships of life crying
Harderia!
DISSOLVES THESE HARDENED FEELINGS
That turned us into machines and monsters
And know what it is to be human

Perpetual resilience of the invisible fire core
Some healed, Some killed
To born again
Changed
