BLOOD RED HILL
Blood Red Hill.
I have no place other than Blood Red Hill.
Right now on Blood Red Hill,
God is in the other side of world they say.
Right now on Blood Red Hill,
God is in the other side of world they say.
God will come here tomorrow they say.
Right here, I can’t believe in believing.
But I am believing.
The savior is you.
You, are the savior.
I am waiting. On Blood Red Hill.
I am waiting for you. On Blood Red Hill.
血の丘（Japanese Version）
血の丘。
僕の居る場所は血の丘の他に無い。
今、血の丘で、
神は世界の裏側に居ると彼等は言う。
今、血の丘で、
神は世界の裏側に居ると彼等は言う。
神は明日此処にやって来ると彼等は言う。
此処にて、
僕は信じる事を信じられない。
しかし僕は信じている。
救世主は君。
君は、救世主。
僕は待つ、血の丘で。
僕は君を待つ、血の丘で。

El Terremoto Clama Justicia.
El perro aúlla como un lobo, con un sonido poco común para este noble animal, es una manera distinta de actuar y ladrar. Ramón, solo tiene 35 años y es un anciano para este pueblo de acuerdo al censo del año pasado. No hay viejos en este pueblo, porque desaparecieron hace varios años. La gran mayoría son menores que él. Ramón dice: mi abuelo desaparecido solía contarme cuando era niño, si los perros ladran de esta manera, es que habrá una desgracia natural como un temblor fuerte y hasta podría ser un terremoto o un nuevo asalto de los militares. Ramón no sabe cuál será peor el terremoto o el asalto de los militares. Él en carne propia conoce los golpes militares, las marca en su cuerpo recuerda esos crueles días.
¡Nadie pone atención a sus palabras! Los niños siguen jugando, la mujer cocinando y Ramón reparando una herramienta.
A pocas cuadras de esta casa en una calle principal del pueblo se leía en la pared de adobe de pintura blanca frente al estacionamiento de buses. ¡Mata un rico y salva el planeta tierra!

A World Poetry letter of prayers, thoughts and love to
Neil Bhargava and the Bhargava Family.
Due to the tremendous response from World Poetry members and supporters from Canada and around the world
(more than 100 e-mails in two hours and more coming in) I have decided to combine all the messages into a single letter.
Many people also responded who could not attend the potluck due to distance.
First: A heartfelt thank you to all who responded with prayers, good wishes and love.
I was amazed at the volume of e-mails I received shortly after I sent the World Poetry Potluck cancelation message out.
Second: World Poetry would like to let Neil and the Bhargava family know that the World Poetry Family is sending many
prayers, good thoughts and love to them.
Third: The World Poetry Prayer Circle and other prayer groups are also sending prayers to them.
On behalf of our World Poetry Family, our very best wishes for health and a speedy recovery.
As all goes well, we may have the World Poetry Potluck at their home next month,
Healing blessings and love,
Ariadne Sawyer and Alejandro Mujica-Olea,
Founders and hosts of World Poetry.
