ALIENATION

My mind got tired chasing trendy ghosts

And everything looks so absurd to me,

Today without a sense becomes a lost

Tomorrow, when the dream will cease to be.

More days that pass move nothing but my fears

And all it seems the same, without the luck,

I wonder if the stars mirror my tears

Uncovering with shine the greatest mock.

All beauty's hidden like a mortal sin

By pregnant idols that expect to die,

It's nonsense to reveal yourself as clean

When dirtiness protects their shameful lie.

My time is passing by and I can't tell

What running fairy-tale mine is to keep,

Child forever longing for a bell

That rings and sweetly brings him back to sleep.

All that I want is close my eyes and wait

To find in dreams the answer to my quest,

Is life for me or not a precious maid?

Am I entitled there or not to rest?
