COMING- poetry by Januário Esteves





Screaming cacophonies pervade the night

On the corners of the streets the painful flow

Of moral conveniences trafficking ballot boxes

In a rush of formless colorful prostration


In which lie all the bad excesses

All gossip stunned by emptiness

Soft and sticky that insults the practice of ends

About the depressed needy who is gloomy


And concomitant moods roam

Stuck to the ancient custom that makes them enchanted

Through the fog in which hardships move


From doctrines to norms to rules that block

The light of knowledge through enlightened eyes

Hijacking future ages from all beauty
