New marches in Mexico over deadly cost of war on drugs To see more go to www.youtube.com Follow us on Facebook (goo.gl or Twitter (www.twitter.com In the past four years Mexico's war on drugs has taken over 35000 lives. As the drug lords and federal forces battle it out, the civilian population has had enough and people power is on the rise. "We are fed up with crime and we want it to end" . Javier Sicilia, a well known poet, was behind the first marches to the capital city earlier this year, protesting the meaningless killings of innocent people. Over the last six months, Mexico City has seen a steady uprising against the violence plaguing the country. In a place where tragedy has left nobody untouched the people are showing increasing solidarity and demanding change. "I am doing it as a duty, in memory of my son and all the pain of our nation." A Film By SBS Distributed By Journeyman Pictures June 2011

Ancient Aztec poetry was filled with lyricism, passion, thought, philosophy, symbol and myth. Nezahualcoyotl (Fasting or Hungry Coyote), universally recognized as the greatest poet of Ancient Mexico, was also famed as an architect, engineer, city planner, reluctant warrior, lawgiver, and philosopher. This poetry was mainly preserved in two collections compiled in the 1500s. Nezahualcoyotl composed at least 36 of the poems in these collections. Many other poems are attributed to him. Leader of the city-state Texcoco, the cultural center of Ancient Mexico, he maintained his people's independence in an era dominated by his Mexica allies in Tenochtitlan. These poems fall into a category known as flower-songs (xochicuicame), the most popular form of Aztec poetry. The poet would stand beside a huehuetl drum and recite the poetry, often also accompanied by a teponaztli and sometimes a flute. Drums and percussion by John Hale. This is one of a series of videos based on my book, Ancient American Poets. www.youtube.com www.red-coral.net
