I HAVE A DREAM

There is no wonder. 'Cause despite all dazzling things.
The surprise is our dreams, since dreams can make things spring
From the good side of the fate to make us embrace
Destiny as we please over life’s surface.

I dream that happiness makes on the Earth its home,
Driving our dreams to what they were meant to become
So that the world can drift into our destiny
Through a life where our hopes fly from its agony;

I dream of a world where the reign of prejudice
Falls clean into decline on behalf of justice.
So that, in remembering that they’re all brothers,
Men expel from the world what hate let them gather;

I dream of a world where freedom gets as guidance
The purest insurance of the tolerance,
A world where people know, to save our dignity,
We need love, unity and solidarity;

I dream of a world where the stare of the scare
Turns away from our hearts, where the war’s voice can’t blare,
A world where nature is green, where no pollution,
No pain can stop spending life without privation.

WE ARE ALL A TREASURE


In this world, we’re all a treasure
With a value beyond measure:
Humanity is the organism
Of which we're each a mechanism.


But, Ignoring that we can thrive 
In our dreams for the world we strive,
They brave nature by the racism,
Human rights through nationalism.


The question of nation, culture
And color some praise as feature
Can't stop us managing to hold
Humanity precious as gold;


Since that just means that our fruits’ juice,
Though we're from different trees, is of use
To make the world grown up healthy
Through our vitamins that're mighty.


If the world’s headed for nowhere
While we'd like it to go somewhere
It's that, to whirl around it's wind,
Discriminations make us blind.


Then, so that we can enjoy life,
Just let love dispel every strife 
To avoid the dope of aggression
That traps that fact by dissuasion.


When union gets our obedience
The time will let us experience
How all our days can stop being wild
Since gaiety would serve us as shield.


Then stop going on a force spree
To stop war bending peace on knee
Instead of making emotion's mess
Triumph over our happiness:


To be United you've to dare
Act in a way to be aware
That other's rights sit on your shelf 
Where things show love you've for yourself.


LIVING LIFE WITH PURPOSE AND OPTIMISM (duodacy poem)

Life is the best gift that nature lets us receive
To know how we can bring happiness into play.
In its powerful arms nothing else can deceive
Our good will to stop hope falling into decay.


_What life! Is not what lets time betray my wishes?
Thus, is it worth standing my treads along its stairs?
From a day to the next my dreadful memories,
Resting on status quo, dip my heart in despair.


_“You know nothing is hard from what we can handle,“
“Aim can tame fate and show how to live life’s worthy “ .
“No one could blame darkness, lighting up a candle: “
“Living with optimism means ruling destiny.”


UNFORTUNATE SETBACK

After having held firm, my hope is to fall down!
From my sacrifices' bloom a setback is grown.
Now alone i'm watching how, from my existence,
My joy is blowing clean off through its pure essence.

                   CHORUS

What do you want Madam? Was it to entertain
My feelings or just to spare my heart from its pain
Things let me welcome you through my world's door of love?
'Cause i don't understand what you intend to prove.

Was it your moon but not sun which rose at my sight,
As, crossing my sky, you're just distracting love's night?
Hence Madam your silence oh darkness such a crime
Makes my heart felt sleepy (..) as if it's still night time!

Wishing my happiness means: counting on you.
You're, for me, everything and thus, nothing is new.
So my life is missing thouroughly its pleasure,
Being still deprived of your love oh my treasure!
