The Tribunal of Agedness
It is the tribunal of agedness
At which those who have tyrannized arrive
With no summons or detention;
Sitting alone
Or in the middle of a group of aged people
Touching his white beard in a moment
As well as the position of the fangs in an other one
Expressing regret and alas
About a very already finished period of time
When he savagely oppressed
Saying in his heydays:
“I’ll accuse and disdain whoever person I want
And the justice is by my side”;
The time goes on,
Years are passing as days
Everything is running as quickly as a glance;
And your oppressor and mine will be
Within the sharp incisors of the tribunal of agedness
In which justice is performed perfectly;
It is an optional court
That becomes a must in the old age
A one depicted by the very downfall of one’s hair;
A one for my compatriots to whom I wantforcibly
Fall apart in the other side of the margin;
It is a tribunal incomparable to theirs
That can roll you down from an innocent, wretched condition
To the lowest level of a brutal criminal;
The tribunal of agedness remains our sole piece of hope
In the process of making, your oppressor and mine, pay back;
O the one who has oppressed in spite of the ferocity of dignity;
