You shall be faithful
You shall be faithful,
But not to any human
Which in cold greediness
Hangs on to your hands
Not to any ideal
Which swell in large letters
Without touching your heart
Not to any commandment
Which makes you a foreigner
Inside your own flesh
Not to any dream
You did not dream yourself
When were you faithful?
Were you faithful
When u knelt in the shadow
Of others icons of false gods?
Were you faithful
When your actions drowned
The sound of your own heartbeats?
Were you faithful
when you weren’t unfaithful
To the one you did not love?
Were you faithful
When your cowardice disguised itself
And called itself conscience?
No
But when what touches you
Made music
When your own pulse
Gave rhythm to action
When you were one
With what trembles inside you
Then you were faithful!
