If a single bird sings, the world is saved,
Carlos Fuentes died on this May 15th two thousand twelve,
people also know that the literature
is more worth that the politics or the pain,
the crickets sing and metamorphose,
continuity of the world,
Carlos Fuentes died,
Mexico was taken by the sea and its quotation marks,
people know everything,
when trains pass under the arches of the sun,
rails sing, whistle during a few minutes,
Carlos Fuentes died,
today I saw of my very eyes
an obvious fox as the red gold,
if a single bird sings, the world is still saved,
Guyot the scrap merchant makes roll green trucks,
the earth still turns in 2012,
if a single woman cries the world is saved,
a single bird also
deletes the mysteries.

He would have liked the title very much I think. Your words to the man are stirring and very appropriate. The bird singing and the woman crying is effective to the nth.
