The voice of time
The voice of time
in his eternal songs
merciless
tell the story
hollows out his face
wise nourishes the roots
and teaches how to live
in the dances of life.
Odd or even
they don’t count inside the veins
it will be a storm
or I sing in my heart
in this sea of mine
they always drown
everyday
love and freedom.
Innocents without a land
Where is Peace
in the long flowing river
bringing in the waters
in the womb wet from war
trails of blood and mourning.
I am still
the desperate roots
of innocents without a land
and the cruelties within the walls
to pay for oblivion and silence.
In this desert
huge in the heart
their mouths remain silent
of those men killed
from the brother close behind.
