Not the torturer will scare me Nor the body's final fall Nor the barrels of death's rifles Nor the shadows on the wall Nor the night when to the ground The last dim star of pain, is held But the blind indifference Of a merciless unfeeling world
Lying in the burnt out shell Of some Albanian farm An old Babushka Holds a crying baby in her arms A soldier from the other side A man of heart and pride Breaks ranks, lays down his rifle And kneels by her side
He binds her wounds He gives her food And calms the crying child She gives him absolution then Across the great divide He picks his way back through the broken China of her life And there at the kerb The samaritan Serb turns.. Turns and waves.. goodbye
And each small candle Lights a corner of the dark...
When the wheel of pain stops turning And the branding iron stops burning When the children can be children When the desperados weaken When the sea rolls into greet them When the natural law of science Greets the humble and the mighty And the billion candles burning Lights the dark side of every human mind
A continuidade das coisas é, de fato, imutável?
E essa sensação de conforto, de dormência? Verdadeiro estado inercial!!!! Essa profunda dormência.... inibe os sentidos...
inibe os sentidos!! E cega... é cega! É como uma luz que ofusca após um momento no escuro. Mas é passageira (deveria ser ao menos). Ilusão de ótica que traz consigo interpretações errôneas da realidade.
É muito fácil usar de exclamações contundentes a fim de apontar verdades relativas, parciais. "Vá ler um livro!", "Desligue a televisão!"...
Mas seria essa a raiz a ser cortada??
Há consciência da própria realidade por parte de quem não aprendeu a pensar por si só?
É sabido que nascemos e é sabido que morremos. Morreremos! Mas, e no meio do caminho? conquistamos? Tomamos consciência disso, ou morremos sonhando um sonho de vida americano?
Há de se quebrar o movimento inercial ao qual tendemos todos!
This time the bullet cold rocked ya A yellow ribbon instead of a swastika Nothin' proper about ya propaganda Fools follow rules when the set commands ya Said it was blue When ya blood was read That's how ya got a bullet blasted through ya head
Blasted through ya head Blasted through ya head
I give a shout out to the living dead Who stood and watched as the feds cold centralised So serene on the screen You was mesmerised Cellular phones soundin' a death tone Corporations cold Turn ya to stone before ya realise

Doctor Doctor what is wrong with me This supermarket life is getting long What is the heart life of a colour TV What is the shelf life of a teenage queen Ooh western woman Ooh western girl News hound sniffs the air When Jessica Hahn goes down He latches on to that symbol Of detachment Attracted by the peeling away of feeling The celebrity of the abused shell the belle Ooh western woman Ooh western girl And the children of Melrose Strut their stuff Is absolute zero cold enough And out in the valley warm and clean The little ones sit by their TV screens No thoughts to think No tears to cry All sucked dry Down to the very last breath Bartender what is wrong with me Why am I so out of breath The captain said excuse me ma'am This species has amused itself to death Amused itself to death Amused itself to death We watched the tragedy unfold We did as we were told We bought and sold It was the greatest show on earth But then it was over We ohhed and aahed We drove our racing cars We ate our last few jars of caviar And somewhere out there in the stars A keen-eyed look-out Spied a flickering light Our last hurrah And when they found our shadows Grouped around the TV sets They ran down every lead They repeated every test They checked out all the data on their lists And then the alien anthropologists Admitted they were still perplexed But on eliminating every other reason For our sad demise They logged the explanation left This species has amused itself to death No tears to cry no feelings left This species has amused itself to death
Sei da eterna necessidade de questionar. Aqui isso se dá, obviamente, sob a ótica dos meus olhos. O resultado são linhas que versam a respeito do que vivencio. É, pois, a crônica dos meus dias, que possui inegavelmente um viés, fruto do que sinto e do que vejo.
