CULTURA, ARTE Y POESÍA
CULTURE, ART & POETRY


​We are one continent, from sea to sea, and earth to sky.
Sol de Medianoche reflects our diversity through our
culture, art, and poetry.

AGUA
By Lina Mariscal

​

Pure and transparent
Like the hope I felt
When I heard to the U.S.
We were to foot set

Rivers and roads
We crossed for days
Hoping that to that land
Our bodies would get

Little did we know
That once our feet felt
That promised land
to them, we become the same as a welt

Now in a cage, I sit
Waiting for a trial
With the rest of my family
Still in denial

Not even water
Do I get to drink?
Let alone use it
To bathe, to clean, to live…

ABOUT THE ARTIST 
​

Evelyn Zárate Mora is a high school student in Zongolica, Veracruz. Evelyn is 15 years old. About her work, this young artist comments: “I started drawing since I can remember, I took it more seriously at 12 years old. For me, art is a means to distract me, it is something that I really like to do. Sometimes I use it to express what I feel.”
