It’s Not Just A Wish

 

Every year as Christmas approaches

the mind is already working

Looking through her childhood wishes

what more he would like to achieve

and it is always the same what it asks

with so much faith.

 

It’s the mood that makes you live well

first of all with himself

feel to move without chains

in full freedom and not be oppressed

in every place to promote peace

possibly lasting and not fleeting.

 

Commitment is that desire becomes action

defying the adversities of hatred

increasingly rampant in every nation

aware that it is not a single episode

of news that resound in the universe

is the reality reflected in the lost brother.

 

For this more than ever my cry

That you hear in the wind

written in the sky in which I trust

That of the ocean rise blue

the waves to assert with impetus

that there is no prohibition to Peace.

 

May the wish or dream come true

of peace that we all need.

 

What Power Do You Have?

 

Every day news that shakes the soul

upsets even the strongest

Who seldom have tears on their cheeks

those with thoughts always twisted

who believe they are the holders

of a person and his loves

 

both of passions and of doing what you like

it is certainly pure weakness

if she no longer loves her she finds no peace

contrive wickedness from his hard heart

He dresses as a king believing himself

to be a great sovereign

but as a coward he strikes with his hand.

 

There are no excuses or excuses

arbitrary has been hitting now is rule

there is no mitigating factor for those demons

murders and rebels for that soul that flies.

In a few minutes in the blurred brain

You made a real mess.

 

Back you will not come back

and locked in cage broken wings

freedom forever will be

My feet stuck in the sand

memory of footprints will remain

in the heart forever bleeding

put them in the wandering earthly hell.

 

Universal Freedom

 

I love neither chains nor handcuffs

Or anything that could threaten loss of freedom.

I don’t even love what binds

or keeps mentally bound,

that, 

though imaginary,

The man in handcuffs remains.

I don’t like servility or subordinate slavery.

The only coupling allowed

and that I strongly desire

It’s the hand holding

all the men, women and children of the Earth

to drink of universal freedom.
