GREAT SOUL IN MY COUNTRY 2 © 2008

I shut myself off from the world, in deep silence,

I immersed my gaze in restless writing,

Each word a refuge, each verse an arrow,

And in a single certainty, I wept for humanity.

I wept for the pains unseen, the hidden sorrows,

The silent wars, the internal battles,

On a paper stained with eternal tears,

Recording the weight of adult souls.

I shut myself off from the world, but not from feeling,

In writing, I found my way of existing,

And while the world spun, distant and cold,

I wept for humanity, in my sombre corner.
