No one, really nobody

May grow in the desert 
the inert body with buds of soul, but 
no one, nobody really, 
didn't smell his flowers and if 
no one, nobody really,
did not see the tears 
from the mother's eyes, 
what is the point of glorifying 
the flowers of paradise? 
No one, nobody really, 
don't answer when we ask 
in a mother's prayer 
let the truth come 
from the lifeless body,  
not even God? 
The earth is barren 
when flowers die 
behind the children.
