Miren cómo sonríen
Los presidentes
Cuando le hacen promesas
Al inocente.
Miren cómo le ofrecen
Al sindicato
Este mundo y el otro
Los candidatos.
Miren cómo redoblan
Los juramentos,
Pero después del voto
Doble tormento.
Miren el hervidero
De vigilante
Para rociar de flores
Al estudiante.
Miren cómo relumbran
Carabineros
Para hacerle premios
A los obreros.
Miren cómo se visten
Cabo y sargento
Para teñir de rojo
Los pavimentos.
Miren cómo profanan
Las sacristías
Con pieles y sombreros
De hipocresía.
Miren cómo blanquean
Mes de maría
Y al pobre negrean
La luz del día.
Miren cómo le muestran
Una escopeta
Para quitarle al pobre
Su marraqueta.
Miren cómo se empolvan
Los funcionarios
Para contar las hojas
Del calendario.
Miren cómo sonríen,
Angelicales,
Miren como se olvidan
Que son mortales.
