Laura de Jesus

 

Demented society

And when everyone lies, 

Such strength is born in me

that of your lies, 

There are still those who listen

Two or three truths without sophistry!

Let your anger be shame

Let your disgust turn to manure

Let light come from your lips

May the animals eat your venom, 

but may wisdom grow in me 

that will enhance the human being!

May I not forget you a single day

that those who have come 

to fight hypocrisy, 

solemnly, solemnly, 

as one who neither silences nor consents, 

is not satisfied with your lies, 

full of greed and heresy

Let the boundaries be erected 

between the people who, 

where I come from,

There is light, truth and courage
