Merry Christmas! (A Bitter Story) Poem by Adilson Pinto

They all were sit around the table.
It was a Christmas familiar lunch.
Seven, maybe eight people!
In the center he the captain!
Then the champagne came - icy! ! !
A boy asked for the privilege to open the bottle.
They put lovingly the bottle in his hand!
The boy opened the bottle but... a little of silver spume
It dropped down on the table - Oh! What a fright!
Ahahahahahahah! But not:
The captain rose himself from the chair
And said to the boy: damned boy! Why did you do that?
I will kill you with a bullet of my revolver into your mouth!
The boy cried a lot!
The people around the table said to the captian:
Don't do it to this poor boy!
Today that boy, an adult then
Wanna do great things - but he has fear to make it wrong!
He wanna fly but he feels he is just
A little bird among rays and thunders!
