LIBERTY EXPIRES
Liberty expires
Fixed on its listless days,
man struggles in poverty;
harsh loneliness invades his face,
eyelids shrink and sweat
Everything stops
Liberty expires,
Pleas are unheard,
Prisoner, powerless, shouts urgent litigation,
no matter how late,
needs to be in the dawn of roses
… and nobody listened
Despair seeds impotence
Autumn is unable to hide the venous projectiles of his misfortune
… And goes on sleepy, under the same roof,
kisses the soil that saw his birth
No one misses him
In the bitter load of his destiny,
wanting to wake in the confessional of justice
Almost impossible.
