Speaking of poétic issues
What does cattle without pasture do?
cuddle sadness ...?
And the mongrel without cans,
just barks ... and how does it survive ..?
What does the painter do?
paint pillboxes ...!?
And the architect, apply mortar ...!?
What does the poet do, without rhyme
and no verse !?
Prose, posing of a poet?
And what is love without love?
erases, kills itself ...!?
Shepherds without sheep,
graze wolves ...!?
And the people who don't neigh ...
crouch ...?
And the politician
everything that promises and
nothing does ... just cheating !?
And I do not learn further than
five or six words ..
Can I wear a tailcoat !?
If we accept all that,
we are smart, bananas,
or simply
stupid...!?
