Vida temporal

Que absurdo,
que todo sea temporal.

Que absurdo,
intentar encontrar lo duradero,
en una vida, en una existencia,
absolutamente pasajera.

¿Por qué si algo viene siempre se va?
¿Por qué todo siempre tiene que cambiar?

Que absurdo,
que no importa cuánto trates, 
el inmutable hecho esta,
en qué todo es eventual.

¿Qué sentido tiene entonces aferrarse,
Tratar de encontrar eso que al final se irá?

Que absurdo,
e insignificante se siente la vida,
cuando no existe ni un tan solo,
"Para siempre"

Quiero sentir eso, volver a eso, pero no puedo. Me lo prohíben. Me lo prohíbo. Estoy perdido. No se que putas hacer.

She wants everything and settles for nothing; With her intense passion for exotic places and minds. A glitch within human specie she is; She scares people because she is whole all by herself, And with her blissful insanity, She has the power to conquer the world.

Personal Response to "Woman at point zero" by, El Saadawi

“ Slavery ”, “ humiliating ”, “ abusing ”, “ filthy ”, “ degrading ”, “ easy way out” . All these stigmas are used when describing a prostitute, yet it is all this that grants Firdaus utter freedom. This novel uncovers the naked truth of what it means to be a woman in an egyptian patriarchal society in the early 1980’s. In the world that Firdaus knows, women exist to serve men, women belong to men, women reside in the power of the hands of men. Female humans are objects, possessions, slaves and pleasure machines; in Firdaus society “all women are prostitutes of one kind or another” . She accepts the crude reality of what women are; arguing that “men force women to sell their bodies at a price, and that the lowest paid body is that of a wife”  Wives are maltreated prostitutes who trade their sexual service for regular subsistence, housing and support of their offspring. Prostitutes are autonomous prostitutes who trade their sexual service for freedom. In the end however, Firdaus co...
