DOES IT LOOK LIKE I CARE?

Does it feel like I care?

What is happening around here?

The corruption, the lies.

Fake beauties undercover,

ignorance at its best.

Screams, shouts  and guns,

vicious circles without an end,

cries, pain, injustice and death.

Does it feel like I care?

When I hide and shut down

when I bite my tongue and leave

when I look the other way and let it pass,

when I forgot what you did for me.

Does it feel like I care?

gorgeous land, disgusting tenants,

perpetrating the worst crime

the irreversible one;

Does it look like I care?

STRANGE LIFE

It’s strange

like I’m not here

I feel my body always in pain

but I’m not inside

my mind is gone

my soul is hiding

and my heart feels empty.

It’s strange

like I’m so alone

hope is down the drain

derailed from the track

no clear thoughts

no target at sight

it’s very strange

to live as I live

without any objective in mind

to walk dead alive.

13

Meeting you, meeting me

young and old life ahead

promised love, promise failed

meeting you, meeting me.

Darker skin, darker eyes, darker soul;

you loved dark colors

and I couldn’t see the red

Eclipsed by your smile

fake promises, ton of lies

meeting you, meeting me.

Was a whole new experience

a bad soap-opera I don’t want to re-run

And the date was marked

in the calendar of faith

thirteen days of the second month

when fourteen was a celebration

with a gone love and a broken heart

Deterioration came fast

every hour and every day

lower and lower you fell

deeper and deeper into your darker colors

so I could finally see the red.
