In a world where everything has a price...we can't be surprised if...

Very soon the TODDLER
will learn the meaning
of have been utterly alone,
surrounded
by so many people but
with nobody really around;
the silence
was no made
with absences of sounds,
it was from his mother's tongue
that he got
the absence of words.

Very soon the BOY
will learn the meaning
of a slamming door,
like the angry
scream of a pistol
killing the peace
with just one shot;
the raised hand that brings
no caresses
or a touch of love;
it will be, when
his mother push,
that he will learn
how to fall.

Very soon the MAN
will learn
that along the way
his heart was lost,
tossed in a crossroad dich
by life's traveling
without return;
with smiles buried in yesterdays
and tears bitter taste,
let it known
that mother
were teaching you
how to be old
before childhood.

Very soon the OLD MAN
will learn that
nobody will come
knocking on his door,
no one would see
his wrinkled face
or say something
se he can hear a word;
he would know
that he came to life
with promises without,
sold by an uncaring mother
giving a damn about the price,
because he so unwanted...
was born.
