Antidote

about pain and suffering and death

Until when, my God

will you be asking me to beg you

to grant me a more powerful poison

than that before it?

How much longer will I be counting rosaries

in which the last bead shines brighter?

How many seconds yet a bigger seashell

will swallow within her younger sister?

How many days shall I fast stronger

than the old hungry man earlier?

And God - until when a more tender Death

will fall down under sickle?
