Let Us Fly

Let us fly!
The stone
can turn into water
and flows,
water
can turn into stone
and burns,
Come, let us fly!

The head wrote mantras, chanted
and multiplied diseases and distress
Come. let us fly!

The hand took arms, fought
and raised the memories of dead soldiers
Come, let us fly.

The belly increased its radius
and wealth, grains and the earth were looted.
Come, let us fly!

The feet crossed the fence, the thorns, the wilderness
and continued to walk
towards the sun,
continued to walk.
Come, let us fly.

That's why, now
these feet turning into wings
will fly higher and higher
on the unblemished constellation of stars
and will mark the skies.
Come, let's fly!
