A beautiful song composed and performed by Jorge Fandermole, titled “Christ of the networks”, has in its content a fragment that says: “Christ of the networks, do not abandon us, and in the espineles, leave us your gifts. Don’t think that you lost us, it’s that poverty makes us sad; the blood tenses and one thinks only of dying; water from the old river, take this song away soon, it is clearing and we are fishing to live.” The song is metaphorical and magnificently expresses one of the many sufferings that poverty brings. In this case, that of the fisherman, who reveals his sorrow for the pain that God might think that he forgot him because of his frustration at work. But there is no such forgetting. What there is is despair at not being successful in the objective he seeks in order to alleviate his economic situation. Any unemployed worker reaches a time when such a situation makes him feel like he is going to die. Because the urgent needs are many and too cruel. But, finally, the fisherman recovers, because he knows and accepts that he has to live, so he strengthens his hope and perseveres in the fight. The scene described belongs to a place on the Paraná River, known as “Remanso Valerio”, in the province of Santa Fe. There, as in many other places on the Coast, fishing is the main source of work. But the feeling that God abandons us when poverty presses us is felt anywhere in the world and in all jobs. The good thing is that living with faith, we live fighting with patience, with perseverance, and with unwavering attachment to justice and the goodness of God, in whom we believe.
