i was told by many people
much older and wiser than myself
much more experienced in the world
not naive and somewhat dumb like I am
(dumb, as one who can’t speak)
that you can’t live in the world as an honest person
i mean, you can be honest most of the time
but not all the time
because the world is evil
and it will eat you up
watch out gabriela!
I was told by my uncle,
gabriela, ten people will tell you
ten different things
then you will stand up and say
this is what I think
i kept those words in my pocket for 20 years
the ten people have come and gone
leaving behind the same message
the world is evil. It can’t be trusted
now let me stand up and say this
for this is what i think
humanity is good
and on this rock i will stand
& of course, the world is neither but nor good, just filled with a frail humanity that is always looking to find something that in truth it never lost.
