Expensive Humanity
I look at the troubles of the world
I seek a healing air.
I am a cart of agony
Going to places.
Keep a flower
At my bosom
And kiss my wounded heart.
I think humanity
Was holy in itself
For better reasons.
I carry the weight
Of the aging world.
It is in my nature
To inquire about the nature
Of the battlefield,
I cannot win humanity
In its own conquest.
Be the healing mantras
For the creation,
I know how
Expensive humanity
Has become.
