The Columbus Of Sorrows
So you think,
You are the Columbus
Of this island of misery?
You are the castaway
Of this remorseless way?
You are the outcast
Of this alienated exile?
Can’t you see the footprints
On the sands of time?
Can’t you hear the cries
Of the bygones?
Can’t you appreciate the signs
Of the passerby?
Can’t you feel the pains
Of the fallen?
What makes you think this melancholia
is strictly reserved for you?
Why do you wanna make
Count of your sorrows?
Why do you wanna be
Monopolistic of your sufferings?
What pleasure does your pain give
for being the first of the worst?
And still do you think
You were here first?
You are just like Columbus.
You didn’t discover it.
You just landed, where
A million already lived through.
