Our dear angel

The lion pit
Is still real.
It is impossible for us to get out of it:
It's a slogan [saying]: “Falsehood”.
 
Our dear angel
Eats roots and then
He sleeps in bushes underneath the trees,
But he will never be a slave.
 
Smoke and mirrors:
[Those] with no reason flash on the ground
Like prostitutes who – during the night – sell
A merry basket full of love, that is never love.
 
[They are just] fear and alienation,
And not what you say:
Those wrinkles have been existing for too many centuries,
And you cannot make them up anymore.
 
Our dear angel
Is young – you know? –:
The fishnets prevent him to fly freely,
But he never resigns.
 
Cathedrals obscure
His white wings, [that] are no more white.
Still, our ambitions lighten the dark,
Lighted tracers point him the [light] blue.
