Two poems by Teresinka Pereira

MAY FIRST, LABOR DAY
2015

The internet did not change
the arms of the workers.
Neither did it change the society
of consumers that exploit them.
The only change
is the fast way in which it
can move human destiny.
The reality of who
makes the future
with their arms or their minds
is the work.
Long live the workers
of all nations!


MOTHER'S DAY

She carries in her arms
the children after
carrying them in her womb.
The universe of mothers
is heavens for
each one of us.
We go carrying on
her eternal being
in so many lives
of our children.
One day is not enough
to celebrate
such silent power!
