Día del trabajo.
Desde que
La humanidad existe
Ha tenido
Que trabajar…………
Y ha habido
Jefes
Y servidores………
En la guerra
Y en la paz………
Ricos y pobres
El rico
Queriendo ser
Más rico………..
Obligando al pobre
A ser más pobre……….
La humanidad camina
Y ricos y pobres
Ven mejor………
Sangre sudor y lucha
Historia
De los
Hombres y mujeres.
Joaquín Sarabia
This is a powerful and starkly simple reflection on labor, inequality, and human history.
What stands out most is its deliberate minimalism. The short, broken lines create a rhythmic, almost spoken cadence that mirrors the weight of the subject itself. There is no embellishment—only direct statements that accumulate meaning as the poem progresses. This simplicity strengthens its emotional impact.
The central theme—the enduring divide between “rich and poor,” “jefes y servidores”—is presented as something continuous and historical, not isolated. By framing work as inseparable from human existence, the poem connects personal labor to collective history, emphasizing struggle as a shared human condition.
