Há um fogo enorme no jardim da guerra
E os homens semeiam fagulhas na terra
Os homens passeiam co´os pés no carvão
que os Deuses acendem luzindo um tição
Pra apagar o fogo vêm embaixadores
trazendo no peito água e extintores
Extinguem as vidas dos que caiem na rede
e dão água aos mortos que já não têm sede
Ao circo da guerra chegam piromagos
abrem grande a boca quando são bem pagos
soltam labaredas pela boca cariada
fogo que não arde nem queima nem nada
Senhores importantes fazem piqueniques
churrascam o frango no ardor dos despiques
Engolem sangria dos sangues fanados
E enxugam os beiços na pele dos queimados
É guerra de trapos no pulmão que cessa
do óleo cansado que arde depressa
Os homens maciços cavam-se por dentro
e o fogo penetra, vai directo ao centro
