Mother!


 

Mother!
That you never
wanted sons
when you only
wanted to give birth
dreams.

Mother!
I am waiting 
the day, your day
when you will shout 
at the world
all your conditions.

Mother!
Can you hear me?
I am crying 
all your fears
but nobody
orders me to
shut up.

Mother!
don't come back
to the promised land,
cracked by rivers of lies
and hills of indifference.
Go away and fly!
