Que Dirá El Santo Padre

Look how they speak to us
of freedom
when they actually deprive us
of it.
Look how they preach
tranquility
even as authority
torments us.

What will the holy Father say
who lives in Rome,
when they are slitting
his dove's throat?

See how they speak to us
of paradise
when bullets rain down
like hail.
See the enthusiasm
with the sentence
knowing they were killing
innocence.

The one who officiated death
like an executioner
is calmly having
his breakfast.
With this they put
the noose around their neck,
the fifth commandment
has no seal.

The more injustices,
Mr. Prosecutor,
the more strength my soul has
to sing.
How beautiful to reap the wheat
in the sown field,
watered with your blood
