Venezuelan literature, and in particular poetry, has come out to manifest the voice of the discontent and uncertainty, of helplessness and defenseless that we have had to suffer in the country we share, @nancybriti. I think it was Horacio Guaraní who wrote and sang: "If the singer quiet, life quiet". But Holderlin also said in one of his poems: "Por what poets in dark times?". Yolanda Pantin, in an almost prophetic gaze, announced in that poem one of the roots of our contemporary evil: hatred, resentment, which was sown and promoted in large sectors of the Venezuelan population, by the leading figures (and their political parties) of the regime that dominates to this day. Helplessness is a very common emotion, and Pantin picks it up in two of his verses: "You yourself are / from your helplessness". Thank you for your post, @nacybriti, which allows us to feel and reflect through the expressive poetic verb of Yolanda Pantin. Greetings.

Yolanda Patin, as I said in my text, is one of the strongest and most recognized voices in our poetry. But like her, other writers have been able to express their feelings and make visible our great problem: the homicidal Chavista government. I hope to continue to count on your reading in the next installments. Thank you for always commenting, @josemalavem.
