Hannah cannot read
the books that Michael can.
She cannot write
and needs a man.
She leaves without goodbye
and tears him apart.
They meet at the trial
and resolve the past.
Despite her innocence,
Hannah pleads guilty.
Is there any difference?
Life is a prison without literacy.
Esmeralda Balita is a living paradox.
