Sandcastles

If I have to die in this war 

I want to know why .

There\'s a guy in front of me,

smiling like an old friend 

you bump into a street corner.

 This lucky guy knows 

why he\'s going to die .

 His thoughts freed from a sandcastle

that the tide will wash away .

If I don\'t come back from this war,

after struggling along a path 

of brambles and ambers,

under a heavy flight 

 of ominous  crows ,

 I will stand before an elegant demon

in my well-pressed uniform .

  It will ask me :

 \"  My friend what was your mission ? \'\'

And I would  answer :

 \'\' I had to watch the sandcastles !

    it  would respond : 

   Good job ! But sorry  buddy 

 there\'s no space avalaible here

  and I don\'t want  to keep you

waiting for eternity !

 But maybe ,you can visit 

 my colleagues in heaven  ! \'\'

So I take a path perfumed

 with the scent of rose gardens

  where bees gather nectar.

And I facing a beautiful angel

with a cold gaze .

 Ceasing to write in a stern register ,

  They question me : 

\'\'  Good morning sir ,tell me, please

what was your mission ? \'\'

  I reply : 

\'\'  Bel ange I had to watch over the sandcastles ! \'\'

-\'\' Sir ,we have to many sandcastles watchers 

at the moment and the authorities 

don\'t know what to do with ! 

 The best thing for you is to come back 

down to earth ,or go to the underworld ! \'\'

 Neither god nor the devil 

has an answer to good  and evil .

 They live in marble palaces .

  I did not die in that war .

  I came back to earth

with a moon in my head ,

And I was locked in a solid sandcastle .

Maybe this lucky guy

who smiled at destiny ,

sleeps next to a pretty princess 

in a marble palace .

While the silence of walls 

responds to my cries ...
