GREAT SOUL IN MY COUNTRY 2 © 2008

I see myself through the eyes of someone losing,

And let myself fall, so others can smile.

To be sure that I am right, I put humanity to the test,

And right from the first lesson, I see it failing, without prayer.

It cannot surpass the bar,

Always falling short, trapped in agony,

As if bound to an endless franchise,

Forced to bear the costs, the pain at last.

It cannot remain exempt, free from chains,

To finally be correct, in the choices you foresee.

And I, falling, watch the silent failure,

Of a humanity that gets lost in a vicious cycle.
