I modified the cover page and the Makata section to add some typographic effect and visual abruptness on the background image. So far, the result is good.
in the promised land
the god of war assume his fitted place
between the stalwart soldiers
and muslim braves
he is neither Greek nor Roman god
but a dot, a space, a distance
that will punctuate the course
of our history
in the foughten fields are days
of thunder and sleepless nights
each morrow seems to be the last
to a comrade or a foe
meanwhile,
we anticipate the news
separating the grains from the heap
of sensualized journalism
and just this morning
while some Americans woo
our countrymen down south
an earthquake shook the land
the One has declared his presence
but still we do not understand the signs
not that they are too profound to construe
we only read them with our eyes
not with our hearts and minds
