EVERYBODY'S DREAM

by Teresinka Pereira

May the irascible supremacists
recognize the mud
in which they drown themselves
with their incompetence.

May the pseudo-democrats
notice that heaven flames up
with their hypocrite fights.

May the cowards look around
the tombs and see
the prints of their fingers
that without pulling the trigger
have killed so many human beings
in useless wars caused by their
ambition and unlimited greed.

The wish for peace could have
taken shelter in all of their conflicts,
if we could ever ask the irascible,
the hypocrites, the cowards:
What is your dream?
