Happiness could do us a favour
Instead it burns in flames
Whatever we have done to ourselves
Emotions stare, hide in shame
Pride look at us in disdain
There is no one else to blame
A simple smile is enough of a proof
Existence we can claim
But don’t. Torture is required
Assassinations, murder is required
Screams, nightmares,
Obscene materialistic
Hallucinations are required
When will we learn!
Ancestors taught their ways
World changed, I stayed
the same, preserving what was,
is precious in my eyes
settlers entered mother amazon
told a thousand lies
trees cut, rivers destroyed
ancient ways didn’t survive
Neither did I
Upside down chairs in the air
an aspiring leader, young, with flair
not doing it for power, just for people he cares
a good hard stare, some strange improbabilities
tossed, thrown
owned, loaned
just don’t
poke my other
eye please
a toy enjoys
what it sees
How much you have seen
Where have you been
What have you done
What have you won
Bare hands, hard work
Clearing cleaning others dirt
No amount in pension
no car no mansion
Just me and my brush
Nothing urgent no rush
All my dreams got crushed
Long long time ago
I see you and him
I see me and me
It could have
been different
if for that night
that fight
who was right
doesn’t matter now
Just few moments
seeing each other passing by
questioning past wondered why
we left it all unsaid
