Sometimes I wish I had
the raging verse and the naked word
to summarize what is going on
with people, with my mind, with the world
Sometimes I wish I had
the confidence to trust someone else
to let him or her read my letters
and try to figure out all this mess
I don't plead for mercy
nor cleanance for this mess
I don't plead for reason
I just want to have the raging verse
I don't plead for silence
nor pent claps inside halls
I don't plead for voices
I just want more ears to hear me more
I disown the rules of poetry
And recognize only a single language
around the world
That sings about love, beauty
suffering, power,
history and more
I hear it and I hope you hear it too
I try to sing along | I hope you try it too
Because I don't want to be alone
Singing among a crowd in a pent hall
Quiet, deaf and silent
Yes, sometimes I wish I had
the raging verse and the naked word
to make people rage and denude their souls
