Amar
Desde sempre
amar a si
é recomendado,
Mateus 22:37-39.
Amar a si mesmo
amar a si mesma
é dissolver o ego
e nunca provar
e sim,
sempre fazer o melhor
mais e mais
A tiny yellow capsule
A powder, if you will
Syrup in a bottle
A perforated pill
But this is all a dream
This pill isn't real
like a jumping bean
Perform, it never will
But if it did exist
I would keep steady hands
Remain focused
Remember dates and plans
I would be in control
On the top of my game
Always on a roll
Feeding my brain
A top notch problem solver
Climbing the ladder
An equation dissolver
Blocking out the chatter
Motivated patience
To undivide my attention
Function by a list
And not forget to mention
Wake me up on time
To my alarm clock ringing
I wouldn't get behind
From excessive dreaming
I would live for the moment
Finally, I would thrive
I'd take my life and own it
And, for once, I'd feel alive
Looking at you; they feel lust
They wants to get a taste of it
Promiscous eyes bewitched with anxiety
Pointed heart longing for a touch
The max dissolver couldn't penetrate
Their rigid and gloomy heart
Sharpened tongues graced with deception
Aimed towards the timid prey
Until they gets a taste of it
Salivation will never bid them farewell
Until they caress the depth of hood
Their indisciplined hands will never rest
They're loosed cheetah wandering in search of bone-
A used bone of ethic origin
They're lion without teeth
Boar without fists-
Pretending to possess the devouring power
They've put on the mask again
To deceive,degrade, receive and escape
They were here before-
Pointed nose!
They're disgusing-
On dancing mask!
'dum dum!',they're pricking the drum-
Don't dance to the tune of their jamz
After the jamz they'll remove the mask-
Display of veil'd personality-
Dancing mask!
I'm cynical of polly!
I took the magic pill of life -
My gran and dad were 'live again;
I woke next morning with my wife:
The magic pill dissolved my pain.
