Signature Poem by Darlan M Cunha

*

Rock'n'roll is a style of music and life.
neither good nor bad - one style, one path
a dry & wet warehouse, all in bulk

is cheerful and vigorous as befits the proposal to take
youth pulling their ears and balls
of the backwards, so it's almost democratic,
but total democracy doesn't exist, and it even says
that the philosopher Socrates and his wife Xanthpa
had slaves, so democracy is utopia.

Girls drink and faint, boys smoke and give up
of the social throne, for how long? the moon wants to play
only shows itself on one side, and the earth, of so much surprise
with the laws of gravity and with itself
with his resources, he runs slanting, sweating barbarity.

I answer bullet with bullet, kiss with kiss
the primordial chords of rock are their basis
his way of proceeding with a little help from his friends.
Yesterday, I heard an old band sing a song
named Wild Horses, yes, then I heard a singer
converted to the Muslim religion singing Father and Son,

but that style is not surprising anymore,
Except for the longevity, its haunts have already been
all of them fixated on the history of music, due in large part to
if not in total, the language in which it was spread.
Rock'n'Roll Signature.
