IV

Lord,

what are you if not

all dreams?


We poor people do not say

“Tomorrow I will be this

or that”.

No.

We exist

and by existing we make

the world less

unworthy,

less messed up

the history,

sweeter

the life.


And life, Lord,

is free,

we have it as a gift.


We do not plan

we palpitate

we do not die of heart attack

we only dream.


So, Lord,

we legitimize you.
