Hi to all my pip friends!!, it's been a long time since i last posted...after some holidays i'm back. with one of my most recent poems.

here we go,

One Night in the Forgotten Capital

Destroyed buildings
a complete mess
the forgotten capital
is in ruins

you can't figure out
what happened
you can't figure out
when it happened
and why

old houses
lie in ruins
inside of them
there are mementos of their past owners
pictures, books
almost ruined too

for some reason
the stars are brighter
than everywhere else
the forgotten capital is lightened by the stars

dead ends everywhere
only one road remains intact
the main building's road
where the city authorities
used to work
the main building
the simbol of hope
the simbol of faith
the simbol of patriotism

the building is intact
as if it was protected by god
or as if it wasn't there when the chaos began
on it's entrance
you can read a very old sign
that somehow looks brand new
when lightened by the stars
it says
'governments rise, governments fall,
in this building resides the people's hope
and the people's faith,
as long as it remains intact
the city will be rebuilt over and over
until the very end'

suddenly i heard a noise
the city was being rebuild
or i guess i should say, reborn
people returned to their lives
and the stars brightened even more

one night in the forgotten capital
i discovered that
faith and hope
can never be destroyed
as long as they reside
in the people's hearts

An interesting eloquent read, dear Denise!

Your captivating words hold truth, may more and more humans awaken to this truth.

Love,
