Today i met an old friend
He didn´t smile when he saw me
I don´t know if it was because of his putrid teeth
Or for no reason at all
On his arms he carried his son
Who was weak
And by the way he fumbled the toys
He was blind
I don´t know if it was because his mother had used crack
Or by a genetic disturbance
He had been dismissed four months ago
I don´t know if it´s because he was inapt
Or cause he had aids
He had sunken eyes and trembling hands
He´d used drugs
I don´t know if it was to try or to forget hunger
In the hole where he lives
There´re a lot of human beings
I don´t know if it is because of society´s omission
Or a divine desire
In the end of our talk
I gave him everything i had in the pocket
I don´t know if i did it cause he is an old friend
Or just to live with a safe conscience
