life has won over death
you arrive
a joyuss look in your eyes
you were laughing
you were smiling
you were crawling
when you took your first steps
you were mesmirized
you were running
you were jumping
you were making mud pies
clinging onto me
soon you were older
to old for grownups
you played with your friends
you played sports
but you still called me mommy
you were chasing after girls
you were failing your classes
you were making a mess of your world
soon you betrayed me
you lied and you cheated
you roubou from me
you disapeared for days
you dropped out of school
you swore at me
you snuck into R rated filmes
you broke into stores
theif

cheater
I kicked you out
you disapeared
you became a druggie
you became a drug dealer
you had a truck full of weapons
I saw you on the news
they accused you for murder
they tasered you
you went to court
I watched
they nailed you into a bored
you killed five women
you killed five beutiful girls
sixteen ano olds
you were going to death row
you were going to die
they were going to electrocute you
you went to the sentance
the clock ticked
they put you in the chair
the clock ticked
12:00
currents shot up your body
you jolted progressivo, para a frente
you were dying
you electrocuted
you died
you were on death row
my son was on death row
you died
my one and only son
my little baby boy

Take this kiss upon the brow !
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream,
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone ?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand
How few ! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep while I weep!
O God ! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp ?
O God ! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave ?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream ?
She Walks in Beauty 1814
"She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy dia denies.
One shade the more, one raio, ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A coração whose amor is innocent!"
