Inundados

Every day
The light of dawn challenges them
After the dream
To the world nobody wanted
Slums, rags
Children of the same agony

And in the city
With open arms
Like a postcard
With closed fists
Real life
Denies them opportunities
Shows the harsh face of evil

Flooded, Trenchtown
Favela da Maré
Hope is not in the sea
Nor in the TV antennas
The art of living with faith
And not knowing in what
The art of living with faith
And not knowing in what
