I’m determined to finally be
the simple soul that understands,
the careful fool that takes a stand
and fights the good fight
on every street…
+++
I’m the soul that dances
and that feels the beat,
of the tambourine,
of the djembe drums,
of the clapping hands
that built my home,
that raise their hands
as a sign of praise,
that praises love
as a sign of gain…
+++
I’m the rifleman that once dressed in green
that in foreign mountains
has grown and seen
the tears of sweat
and the sweat of tears
while no yet having too many years
of life experience in peace and love
of life experience…
+++
I’m determined to be
to love,
to comprehend
my brother’s love,
my brother’s pain,
while sitting smoking under the rain…
