Madness

Madness

written by: Maria Dulce Leitão Reis

 

Wide sad eyes,
dressed
with seven cloths of bitterness,
black silences cry.

Bare, gaping mouths,
scream for truth
that comes painted with lies.

The madness
starts to laugh in the darkness.
Hunger is also black,
no more colouring chalk.

They no longer sell,
pay one take two…

Only the skeleton remains
thrown into a common grave!
