NAME:
I sometimes don't understand!
people have a way
to talk about everyone
that shouldn't be right.
Everywhere I go,
at school, on the street too,
I hear they say,
when talking about someone:
-You know So-and-so,
who arrived from a trip?
-His father is very rich,
have two car garage!
– And Maneco, from the club?
Do you think he's rich too?
must see how horrible
the sneakers he has!
Then I keep thinking
that this is not okay.
People are who they are,
or are they what they have?
I wanted with me
were everything different
If anyone thought about me,
Know that I am a person.
Talk about what I think,
Remember what I say,
Think about what I do,
To know why I shut up!
Because I'm not what I wear.
I am the way I am!
I'm not what I have either.
I really am who I am!
(Pedro Bandeira.words of incantation.Maristela Petrili de Almeida, Pascoal Soto (coord.). São Paulo, Moderna, 2001.)
