#poem, Smoking Under the Rain…

(Francisco/Bodo/Actor portrayal)

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…
