 REBEL, POET, AND LOVER

Let me leave in tranquility  
In silence  
And rest on the night's breasts  
And moon's lilies  
 
I want not my moan to be heard  
So that it stifles the groan of the oppressed  
Nor the sky of my sorrow to rain down  
Upon the cities of thieves and mobs  
Who oppress and torture me  
And build citadel and palaces  
With the blood and sweat of the poor...  
 
Arise, O God, who is crucified  
In our sorrows  
Dreams  
Tears  
Sweat  
And blood  
For lo!  
Madly, in the depths of despair    
The world is going insane  
Committing suicide  
With the guillotine of the wealthy...  
 
Let me depart in peace  
As a rebel  
Who longs to baptize the world  
With the philosophy of love  
Drown it in the opium of dreams  
And designates the oppressed  
Kings and princes...  
 
Let me depart in peace  
As a poet  
Who gets intoxicated  
On the wine of language  
Sings  
To the divine rain  
The brooks  
Wherein  
The soul of earth and heaven glitters  
Sparrows that travel freely  
Without a passport, identity card or visa  
Lilies that hymn God's praise  
And sanctify His name  
Butterflies that savor  
Sweet wetness of kisses  
From the flowers' lips  
Suckling grass that eagerly awaits  
Milk of the sky...  
 
Let me depart in peace  
As a lover  
Who adores God  
Loves femininity  
And earth's soil...
