Feverish Plague
By: Josenilson Leite Poet of Garanhuns

Faced with chaos
That plagues the world
With the pandemic.

Children being born
Dying adults
A sad agony.

Locked at home
Or loose in the street
Without having joy.

Distant from each other
Wanting a cuddle
That before it could.

Impossible hug
Hidden smile
Cold humanity.

I do not know what to do
I want a hug
I want joy.

I want the smile to show
Friends back
Living in Harmony.

Missed the campfire
Missing the gang
There was no Saint John.

Forró didn't play
Dawn inside
In my clown.

I want the streets
Well full of people
Like long ago.

Children running
Playing and having fun
With loyal smiles.

My God I confess
And in faith I ask you
We have already suffered too much.

Liberate Brazil
Of this feverish plague
Bring back peace.
