Hope
Rolling, the Christmas tree seeks hold
a can rattling behind it
the wind picks up speed
its strength increases
In early January of this new year
it seems as if he wants to clean up the streets
as if they were coils of the mind
sprung from the human inner self
Homo sapiens, being with intellect
often not thinking, breaking down, destroying
of all that breathes life
selfish in his urge to exist
Peace on earth, the message of Christmas
to the people on different continents
where truth is not unequivocal
to preserve it is an art
