Sometimes people cry out for help,
I think we all have witnessed it,
We watch them break,
We watch their tears,
And we see something in their eyes,
The last piece of hope,
The hope that as well could be a message in a bottle.

Who will ever know if someone noticed that tiny little bottle in the ocean,
Or if they did,
Did they pick it up?
I have seen a lot of bottles in my time,
And most of the time I pick them up,
But I notice quite a few times I don´t,
It is like they become invisible,
Even if they scream loudly right in front of you,
I think something is wrong,
Why do we leave the bottle in the ocean?
I clearly can see they need help,
And I see it,
I really do,
How can you pretend not to?
As some of you guys know I am the founder of :iconRainbow-4all-Club; and this weeks theme for the newspaper was: "Message in a bottle", and that inspired me. So I wrote this for the paper. Hope you guys like it --> [link]

I thin, that perhaps, you would enjoy the works of Chilean poet Pablo Neruda. I, maybe rave about him too much at the moment, but he just seems to write and say what I'm reflecting upon. I got a copy in with the original Spanish and an English Translation on the opposite page. I'm trying to broaden what little Spanish I know and this seems a far better way to do it than try to learn 'Tourist Spanish'.
