Key quotes
· 3 pulledEstamos aquí junto al océano. En la arena, al lado de las olas.
Una canción de la blasfemia en la tierra, de los soldados en la orilla del mar, de los esclavos en los botes, de las nuevas banderas, de niños hambrientos, de madres encadenadas en grilletes, de padres muertos.
Estamos aquí solos junto a las turbulentas olas, en el sol, en los rastros del crimen, y vemos el juego de este mundo.
