The Statutes of Man by Thiago de Mello

Translation by Rosaliene Bacchus

Article 1

It is decreed that now the truth counts,

that now life counts,

and hand in hand,

we will all work for a life that’s true.

Article 2

It is decreed that every day of the week,

including the greyest Tuesdays,

has the right to become Sunday mornings.

Article 3

It is decreed, from this moment on,

there will be sunflowers in every window,

that all sunflowers will have the right

to open in the shade;

and that windows should be open, all day long,

to the green where hope grows.

Article 4

It is decreed that man

will never again

doubt his fellowman.

That man will trust in man

like the palm tree trusts the wind,

like the wind trusts the air,

like the air trusts the open blue sky.

Man will trust his fellowman

like a child trusts another child.

Article 5

It is decreed that men

are free from the yoke of lies.

Never more to use

the breastplate of silence

nor armament of words.

Man will sit at the table

with a clean look

because truth will be served

before dessert.  

Article 6

It is decreed, for all centuries,

the dream of the Prophet Isaiah:

the wolf and the lamb will graze together

and their food will taste like the aurora.  

Article 7

By irrevocable decree it is established

the permanent reign of justice and clarity,

and happiness will be a generous flag

unfurled forever in the soul of the people.

Article 8

It is decreed that the greatest pain

always was and always will be

inability to bestow love to the one loved

and to know that water

gives the plant the miracle of the flower.

Article 9

It is permitted that the bread of each day

bears the trademark of man’s sweat.

But above all must always have

the piquant taste of tenderness.

Article 10

It is permitted that any person,

at any time in life,

to dress in white.

Article 11

It is decreed, by definition,

that man is an animal that loves

and for this reason is beautiful,

much more beautiful than the Morning Star.

Article 12

It is decreed that nothing

will be imposed or forbidden.

Everything will be permitted,

including playing with a rhinoceros

and walking in the afternoons

with an immense begonia in one’s lapel.

Only one thing is forbidden:

To love without love.

Article 13

It is decreed that money

will never more buy

the sunshine of mornings to come.

Driven from the large chest of fear,

money will become a fraternal sword

to defend the right to sing

and the sunshine of a new day.

Final Article

It is forbidden

the use of the word freedom,

which will be abolished from all dictionaries

and from the deceptive quagmire of mouths.

From this moment on

freedom will be alive and transparent

like a fire, a river,

or like a grain of wheat

and its home will always be

within the heart of man.
