Tamo perdido

Tamo perdido en meio
da naturaleza que buscamo,
até que, por fin,
os papagaios
empecen a falar.

We Are Lost

We are lost in the midst
of the nature that we seek
until, at long last,
the parrots
begin to speak.

We Are All Victims

We are all victims
of the strategies of power.
Blindly we feel our way
through a hijacked democracy,
limping toward
a better day.
