As thirty-eighth Brazilian president Messias served,
As a far-sighted and populist his name he preserved;
A vocal opponent of same-sex marriage, abortion,
He stood for family worth and affirmative action...!
Don't the passerines for protection of chicks their lives spend?
Isn't shielding people's rights the task of a president?
Crises of the economy nationwide he confronted,
Unity in diversity of the globe he wanted...!
"The truth will set you free" - was his own personal motto,
Betwixt the voice of liberty, has been a vibrato;
Assaulted, stabbed, and attempted to be killed he ever stood firm,
He fulfilled his love for his citizens throughout his term...!
Could the wisdom of the world fathom, yet, his true being?
Have his works been done, as showpieces just for their seeing?
His life is for his living, and not for others to judge,
Neither their praises he must fudge; nor their hate he must grudge...!!!

The making of peace,
A rejected road,
A crumbled mould.
The making of peace,
The heart yearns,
The body learns.
The making of peace,
The world desires,
The promise of the Messias.
The making of peace,
The recalcitrant rejects,
Tranquil thinly interjects.
The making of peace,
A view that seems far,
A depreciating car.
The making of peace,
Leaders meet to dialogue,
A post-war epilogue.
The making of peace,
The homeless one anticipates,
Hope gradually dissipates.
