OF POETS
I have the craziness of the poets
who paint the beauty when everything is sad,
who see stars through a stormy sky,
who taste pleasure when everything is pain
I have the craziness of these people
who sing happily when there is sadness,
who light suns in a stormy weather,
who see doubt when everything is right
I have the craziness of poetry
that looks for roses when it is winter,
that feels cold when it is spring,
that is afraid when everything is tender
I have the craziness of this world
that wants to fight when peace abounds,
that laughs at love when care is needed,
that is forbidden when everything is Freedom
