How had they been the parents
Of Paulo Coelho
That as for his intuitive living,
Novelty of approach and idea,
Opposition to traditional thinking and religiosity
Admitted him to a mental institution
At 17
And he escaped thrice
To be released at 20
A writer endowed with a faculty
So logical and reasonable
Questioning the existence of man
In this world!
Just for Catholicism
And being a Catholic,
Not a being,
Human being
Whitmanian
They could not,
Could not,
A genius
So underrated
Under orthodoxy!
