He 29 November
The deplorable council of Manizales, delivered a note of mourning for the death of the “illustrious citizen” Mario Castaño, while in the Villa de Pilar clinic (in Manizales), since 11 days, Marcos Rico has been asleep, painter, cartoonist, musician, poet, philosopher, a communist man, impeccable, who in his latest exhibition “Literary Portraits”, It was described by the Manizaleño poet Carlos Mario Uribe (director of the Nave de Papel Cultural Foundation) as “a man difficult to define by his artistic practices”, Withered, as those of us who have been fortunate enough to learn from his coherence of life affectionately call him..
Withered, will not appear honored by the municipal council
because this “instance” ignores the cultural and intangible wealth of the city, They see the city as a gray work, How are their minds and visions of a city that honors someone who admitted stealing more than 112 billion of public resources and he did not have time to tell what else and from whom he had stolen the most.
Surely Marquitos, tomorrow it won't be there
but its harmonica will resonate in the streets of our neighborhoods, where did he go with his guitar, to steal time from death and the despair that overwhelms our neighborhoods, where those 112 one billion pesos would have been used to provide decent housing, to those who dignify the right to live with dignity in the settlements on the outskirts of the city, that this shameful council will surely not discuss the right to housing and much less honor with dignity an artist who survived the extermination of the Patriotic Union and who left countless works in homes, house of the people and in the memory of those of us who recognize that his legacy will live forever, because for those of us who have memory, Your bets on a city for a dignified life will be the best legacy.
