Mario Velez 1990 (Athens)

Free verse
Lose your whole life
Find an ex-wife
Fall from grace onto swords
And all it cost is words


Masses look for a team
Even if it’s just a dream
Acting is all they were
Walking towards
And all it cost is words


All it costs is words
To make a history proud
Or hold the suffering aloud
Every syllable of focus
Against negativity locusts


From the standing ape
To the great debate


And all

It cost

Is

Words

Mario Velez
