Vultures Fly
Vultures fly in perfect circles
and pretend we believe
they are white doves
bringing us peace
Foul-smelling scavengers
disguised as prominent politicians;
illiterate statesmen or authentic literati,
that never attended a single seminar
or even stepped in a University
but surely received and will show with much glee
their hard earned honorary doctorate degree

I Have Been There
The same as the child cries
when he loses his tempera
and his drawings
are left without landscapes
As the night cries when it waits
for the moon's glimmer and its silhouette
are missing
In the same way the sky cries
when the wind frays the blue
and its shades
Thus my eyes cry and they do not stop crying;
from so much crying,
lifeless amidst deaf c...

They See Her Dance
She frolicked between two turquoises,
the sky the sea;
now, on the sandy beach,
in the envelope of a tear,
they see her dance

Starting Today
As of today
I'll only be in your memory,
a trunk full of remembrances
you’ll want to throwaway
and remove forever
imagining you’ll forget me
From today on
I'll just be an empty space in your bed
you cannot embrace
and my scent on your pillow
that you will not forget
Starting today
I'll only be
a worn out image in your dreams
that will hush the pa...

Heads or Tails
Like a coin
tossed in the air,
chance will decide
whether I will land heads or tails
To have control is almost impossible,
when I think I'm at the top
someone incapable or enviously sick
comes from behind
and knocks me down to the ground
I get up smiling,
starting again;
leaving nothing half done,
that's how I face life;
even when insults rain down ...

Without Remorse
The blood of innocents spreads like a flood,
covering cities and fields
because a delirious egomaniac, without remorse,
needs to be named in history books
Cities and villages are turned into rubble
because a fiend, without remorse,
decides to restore an empire
Widows and orphans perambulate the streets
because a diminished despicable man,
without remorse or sha...

This Is Today
It is not a fable or a fairy tale,
even a child could understand my plea
that is why I speak loudly and vehemently
I am outraged to see
how those who wield power,
supported by uniforms and boots
see us as nincompoops,
weaving narratives of a distorted history
as if nothing had been there
Their very accommodated stories
build paper monuments to their heroes o...
