Locomotora

If the monkeys made music
if the reptiles sang under your window
couplets of their own inspiration
then where did I go.
If the trees cried
if they could move
if the rain reproached the moment of falling
if the desert made verses and in pieces to the heat
if the heat detested itself and traveled to another region
then where did I go.
Chorus
conquered the earth
dominated the moon
discovered fire
and the seven seas.
If the trees cried...
Chorus
Because who commands and pulls this wagon
that drives the great locomotive
because who commands and pulls this ship
who writes about revolution.
Who drives the great locomotive.
