Born At A Wrong Time.

When I came here

I thought

I am of the same species

as the others are

but am I ?
I see -

the creeping sophisticated
specimen elongate their hands,

the lovers betray every moment

the kings and rulers

who put their conscience

in the boxes and treasury-

I am  not of that species,

I am a human being with

a mind, soul and a heart

Yes- I know-

Pure gold.

Is this the place destined for me-
the human jungle,
where nature is beastly
What will I do here?
I came here with love-
love here is synthetic,
truth runs away
with a question mark,
but I will fulfill my destiny
create and worship everything
with truth and love.
They will beat me? - Let them
They will kill me ? - Let them
My death will be a sacrifice
to reestablish the species
for posterity to adore.
