Mais Que Um Mero Poema

It seems strange
I feel the world spinning backward
It was love that ran away from its home
And everything got lost in time

It's sad and real
I see people facing off
Over a plate of food
Water is just spit
Ecstasy is relief, it brings the end of days
And while many sleep, others writhe
It's the cold that follows the path and with it your fate

Didn't you see?
How many times have they warned you
That the earth is going off the charts
And with it everyone who played a part?
And nothing changes, it's always the same
Life follows its fate

Mothers bury their children, children lose friends
Friends kill cousins
Throwing bodies on the banks of contaminated rivers
By giant ships
Is that in the picture blood or black oil?

Here lies a heart that knocked on your door at 7 AM
Wanting your attention, begging for the charity of a simple tomorrow
Make a child, plant a seed
Write a book that teaches something good
Life is more than just a simple poem
It is real

It's bread and circus, see
With every shot of liquor, an accident that intoxicates the atmosphere
Ruining any clean face
From party to party, anything goes

And the girls
Take their kids from their bellies, silence their boys
Seal their fates
Just two more stories destroyed
There are so many bright colors hunting other skins
Moving the brand

The trend now is the humiliated shining your shoes
In any case, it's just another annoying guy

And even if the old habit of dodging
Backfires
What’s done here, still gets paid here
God gave more than air, heart, and home
Gave free will
And what do you do?
And what do you do?
