Poems - In gratitude.

             In gratitude

(C) Protein, 1997

 I want to say thank you, people you
 For kicks, for the lies, hypocrisy.
 I now know the value of words,
 He learned to close in disbelief
 Learned to be cautious in love.
 Learned to live always with an eye:
 Suddenly, I still have not understood
 People are gray, to anger avid
 As Christ trample, razopnut.

 I want to say thank you, people you
 For imputed to us, young sin
 These crippled soul
 Of which are squeezed poetry,
 During the hasty trial, with the sentences
 Taken out of fear, the whole crowd,
 Your cries: "Let the thief!
 Let the poet dies! To cross it! Down! "

 I mean damn, people, you
 For the family, with comfort, pockets.
 Monument will be bitter to them
 Unfinished songs and poems.
 But when the fog of oblivion melts
 Exhausted from the petty cares
 With wounds in the soul of a poet flies,
 Continuing an interrupted flight.
