"The Nobodies" by Eduardo Galeano

The nobodies...
Who are not, but could be.
Who don't speak languages, but have dialects.
Who don't have religions, but superstitions.
Who don't create art, but handicrafts.
Who don't have culture, but folklore.
Who are not human beings, but human resources
Who do not have faces, but have arms.
Who do not have names, but numbers
Who do not appear in the history of the world,
but in the police blotter of the local paper.
The nobodies, who are not worth the bullets that kill them.
¶ 16:55
