Guerra (en inglés)

Guerra
I look at you and you are touched by my rage.
When I scream without using my mouth
And my fury eats people
Because it bites even though it doesn’t have teeth
The pain doesn’t give me any problems
Today the pain recites me poems
I eat the world and the plate its on
fear shines my shoes
I melted fire
Today nightmares cant’ sleep because they’re thinking of me

Today I can see what others couldn’t
An I make them pray though they don’t believe in God
Today tears cry before they die
An I tell the history books what to write
May the legs of the planet earth shake
Today I came to win and I am made out of war
()
I am the hole left by the bomb that fell
That impregnated the mother that birthed me
Since I was born I was part of the menu
Because I came to the egg before you
I’m the jungle that runs barefoot
In the middle of the ocean I survive without raft
I’m the ebb and flow that moves the current
The battalions that crash head on
Bring on my rivals two at a time
Not even thunder can raise their voice at me
I’m the defeat, your two broken feet
The nail in your foot that went through the boot
I’m the strategy of any combat
Or we win or we lose, there will be no draw
I’m the sorrow of your joy
The war at night and the war of the day
()
I kill war without shooting at it
War is afraid of hugs
War dresses with camouflage
So that no one sees when it gets sad
War loses all of its fights
When enemies listen to each other
War is weaker than it is stronger
It can't stand life, so it hides in death
