La Bestia is deadly
A route the desperate take The thousand mile journey As they put their lives at stake To remain is not an option Death is at their door “The Train of the Unknown” When life is so obscure. “Go in alive Come out a mummy.” Is what the children are told Ride the train Hide in vain In hopes to avoid patrol. Forsaking their loved homeland Their families and their friends Survival is their goal The border is where it ends. As I was reading the book, “Tell Me How It Ends; An Essay in 40 Questions” by Valeria Luiselli, she spoke of “La Bestia”. As I began to research it further... a poem emerged.
