CORRUPTION

20 2 4
                                    

My loneliness was always full of love

And full of words, music, and painting

Full of passion,

Without following

Any fashion.


I used to watch how people connect with my soul.

I would have become fascinated by their attitudes

But not by a spark of their precious jewellery

Their silky skin

Or fine body.

Shame, their attitude lies so low.

My words would have repelled a corrupted soul.

My music would have neutralized prejudice.

The leaves in my paintings never had a hole.

And they never sold.


My dearest world!

How late I discovered the wealth behind imperfection!

How late I discovered the credibility of corruption!

The happiness behind pretention!

The pride behind segregation!

The victory of patriots behind

The other children, men, and women

Dying of starvation.


But I will lead my own way.

I will keep picturing the world

A perfect place for all.

I know very well

That I am fooling myself

But I will lead my own way.

It's the better thing to do.
