Muere Lentamente, Pablo Neruda

He dies slowly
the one who doesn't travel
the one who doesn't read
the one who doesn't listen to music
the one who seeks and doesn't
find with his eyes

He dies slowly
the one who destroys his dignity
the one who does not accept help.

He dies slowly
the one who becomes a slave of habit
passing daily on the same route.
the one who never changes his performance
does not take the risk of changing
the color of his clothes
who never talks to a stranger.

He dies slowly
the one who avoids passion
and his whirling emotions
that reflect light into his mind
and repair broken hearts

He dies slowly
the one who never changes his cape
when he is sad at work or from love,
the one who doesn't take risks
to realize his dreams
the one who, not once in his life,
runs away from reasonable advice

Take a risk today !

Act right now !

Don't let yourself die slowly !

All I have to say is send a girl a poem and she will be smitten!
