Another day in the hell...
Sometimes I wonder
what the hell am I doing here...
Running between the ruins,
hiding behind the walls
while incessantly shooting,
crawling on the ground
to avoid being blown off brains out
lurking in the corners,
expecting the unexpected
But I'm here is for you
Marketing with death and horror
to give you your daily dose of morbidity,
feed this fascination for the evil
that intoxicates you
refusing at the same time with the head...
I'm your eyes in the distance,
I tell you the shame, misery and infamy
I am the person that gives you the reality on a tray,
open and without beating about the bush...
and all this I do to get you
to answer or react in some way.
I am an annoying war photographer
Maybe one day a bullet with my name
and I have met along the way,
and my body falls lifeless from the rubble
Someone may bewail my loss and that, hopefully,
my death be news in any bulletin
But that day also die with me some truth
giving way to spin the lie that those who start wars
in this miserable world grow and strengthen
Can you react then?
According to the Committee to Protect Journalist (CPJ), since 1992,
914 journalists have died in the course of their work,
179 are currently incarcerated and more, disappeared.
Among the dead, 642 were killed with almost total impunity
for political reasons, issues related to corruption and human rights, etc..,
160 killed in combat or crossfire and 110 for work in hazardous areas
(there are cases still unconfirmed)
Nor do I elevate all deceased.
I imagine that as in all professions,
in journalism there will be heroes and villains.
But I do think it appropriate to recall
at least the names
of those who have fallen during
the months of 2012 passed
and where they were killed,
38 victims enough to draw
this particular map of shame
and will serve to honor the memory
of all who do not I can cite.
Whether your work was more or less honest,
kill the word, image or voice with weapons
all you get is degrade human.
