The Prisoner of His Conscience
He was very poor and he decided to marry a
rich woman.
He got money but, in time, he has become a
sad man.
To live a life without children they had a
perfect plan.
One day, he saw a widow walking down the
street; 'It's late',
He told her calmly and asked her to save
him from his sad fate.
He didn't know why he felt to touch her
while trying to get a date.
He was surprised when she confessed her
crying coeur
About being a mother of three children and
being very poor.
She had to work as a housemaid at a
loudmouthed boor.
He understood her suffering and to help her
was his concern.
He talked with her about giving and getting
nothing in return.
He thought never to dishonor her acting to
help her raise her children.
''I've left the love of my life to marry a
woman I do not love.
I'm so unhappy,'' he told her while looking
at the stars above.
He said that he had tried to divorce
wanting the whole world to rove.
He wanted to love the widow and to take
care of her needs.
Certainly, he would become an adoptive
father of her kids.
He told her, ''when I see that you suffer,
I can't I let down my eyelids.''
His wife didn't want to divorce, but she
left him on his demand.
He married the widow and found their fate
in a far away land,
After committing the suicide, his first
wife was found on the sand.
He went to her funeral, but her death
couldn't be subjected to annoyance.
He has begun to scream releasing something
deeper and fierce
Without his wish, he released the prisoner
of his conscience.
