CHOCOLATE RAINDROPS AND A KIDNEY

Two news shocked sensitivity and call to reflect about humanity’s future in hands of capitalism. Let’s read some paragraphs from the first news:

“In the middle of a drug’s war, a teacher from a kindergarten -in Monterrey- is the most recent example of a citizen converted in an unsuspected hero, according to the Mexican public opinion. Martha Ivette Rivera, 33 years old, recorded with her cell phone a video that showed what was happening in her class last Friday.

While in the outside was a exchange of shoots, her 16 pupils -barely 5 or 6 years old- looked at her frightened as she sheered them up to sing, lying down on the floor, to distract them from shooting’s attention: “If raindrops were chocolate, I would love to be there”. The video, where it shows how the teacher tries to calm the kids while in the back was the shooting, converted an immediate hit in the social networks (it is youtube).

Rivera says that it is not the first time that shootings happen near downtown, but never like that Friday: “I put into practice the safety protocols, dropping on the floor and I put a little creativity. I wanted to keep them protected as much as possible, so I remembered that every time we sang “Chocolate Raindrops” we do it lying on the floor”. The teacher recalls, who –in addition- I responsible for a safety program in the educative center.

At the beginning of her first class after the shooting, Martha Rivera asked –like always- what song the kids wanted to sing; the answers –she says- was clear… “Chocolate raindrops!”.

Mexico keeps a commercial relation with United Status which is envy of capitalist oligarchies from the continent; let’s recall uribe’s adulations when he signed treaties with gringos. Well, this privileged country within capitalism is being dissolved fro the inside by the drug’s mafias, executers of any existent misdeed, like human trades and hired international assassins; that without talking of maquilas with the slave labor.

The shocking incident in the Mexican kindergarten is a clear sample of the directions where capitalism drives us.

The second news, tragically as direct as a dagger to the liver, does not require great commentaries; it is an extraordinary compendium of the capitalist civilization. Let’s read the news:

“In China, a teenager has been press of marketing, but beyond all, of the Apple tablet iPad2; this young sold one of his kidneys just to get cash for his iPad2, and now he is ill. This is a very difficult complex and complete picture of the capitalist civilization, and just if there is a lack of a clear definition, let’s adds the irony that the spreading portal of this tragic news is sponsored by Apple”.

Everyday evidences of the mistaken road towards capitalism emerge, its disrespect to life and peace, every day we can see the urgency to overcome it.

With Chávez more than ever!!
With Chávez all!!
