Butterfly
The butterfly
is also born
in a chaotic country.
It celebrates its flight
and its short existence.
Its cycle of life
rests on the flowers.
Beautiful and short-lived
it seduces your vision of space
bringing a rebirth of hope
in its ultimate flight.
Mother Victory
Come mamma
with your pride
at seeing your son
in love with a gun
walking as a conqueror
Come mamma
for the farewell
As you come mamma
bring the hopes of other mothers
in your pride
just stay on their side
as the boys grow into soldiers
and reach up their hands for blood
and victory
touching each other's hearts with bullets
Come mamma to a safe haven
while the sons carry their guns
there are no more mothers nor children on earth
and your boy is somewhere fighting
against his mother's prayer
Come mamma
touch peace and all its flowers
In
the Heart of the Enemy
I want
to be the word
the smile
in the heart of the enemy
I want to be the freedeom
at the very edge
of limits and rights
Listening to the whispering of evil
ceasing little by little
in the heart of the enemy
Afro Symphony
The tears
and shame
of not having taken a seat
in the orchestration of modern civilization
still bleed
in the percussion of the drums
Gift
to an Unknown Love
Shall I
offer you
affection
in the intimacy
with rhythms
of nature's instrumental sounds
singing
the beauty
the world has never seen before?
