NO, THEY DON'T

Imagine someone telling
always the truth,
how many "feelings" would
have hurt by
the end
of each day.
We are so concerned
on little things
that we prefer
to harvest
lairs
and we miss the big
picture.

All
because we are
so far
from accepting
diversity that
we only see
differences.

Why?

An open mind
usually means
not to follow
the herd
(that smashes your
balls)
and so becoming a reason
to be hatred
or called
crazy so
you are deprived
of your
own
self.

Shepherds
don't like
black
sheep.

LIVE AND DON'T LET DIE

Live your life
the way you want
to live it,
go where you
want to
go,
do what you
want to do,
be who you want
to be
and do it good.

Live, yes!
And don't let
die.

Be open to understand
others
for who they
are
so you are
understood
for who you
are.

Be ready to help those
who are in
need
so your needs
won't pass
unseen.

It's Newton's third
law.

C vs. C

Capitalists say Communism suppresses
individual freedom.
Communists say Capitalism enslaves
entire nations.

It is none but curious
how both are basing
their speech
on the same
concept,
Freedom,
while none of them
does anything
to achieve it.
Things get funnier when you
realize
both have armies,
police,
prisons,
monetary system
and hierarchical societies.

Things get even more sad

when you realize

their only

goal

is not to solve

any of the fundamental

issues of

mankind,

as they have no clue how to

do it or

any knowledge to

do so,

but to prevail.

Just listen what they say,

their empty promises,

their vacuous

ideologies,

their senseless

diatribes.

Is then
C vs. C the battle
we need to fight
or is ignorance our
worst
enemy?

NOT THE SAME

It is not the same
law or Justice,
police or Safety,
economy or Wealth,
medicine or Health,
democracy or Freedom,
indoctrination or Education,
declarations or Truth.

Do not let anyone
fool you.
Do not try to fool
yourself.
It is not
the
same.

LOW QUALITY FREEDOM

Rather frequently
when discussing ideas
about what future should
be like
people remark
they would not be
willing
to lose their
freedom
in exchange for anything
else.

It is really funny...

Our windows have
iron bars
making our homes
look like a zoo,
we must carry passports
and are forced to
apply
for visas and permissions
to travel the world,
work eight
or more
hours a day
on things we do
not really
care,
we (most of us) are financially
fragile,
and have limited
access to
education.

Furthermore, we are
surrounded by
government secrets,
company secrets,
and left out in all decision
makings.

But what results
evident
is that we have been
efficiently made
to believe
we are
free.

TRIPPING OVER THE SAME STONE

The prohibition of alcohol
almost a century
ago
gave rise to
mafias we still
have to endure
today.

Making drugs illegal
spawned ever growing
cartels
that managed to control
entire countries
and caused more
deaths,
violence
and tragedies
than all those
substances
combined ever.

Banning people
from travelling
freely
the four corners
of the world
caused
horrible gangs
that still traffic with
human beings.

Sometimes I wonder
why these prohibitions
only benefit
a few
while most of us
largely suffer.
Are we that stupid
to trip over
and over
the same fucking
stone?

A FEW MUNDANE THINGS

In politics
too many times
you are
forced to
applaud today
what you were
forced to
repudiate a while
ago.

In economics
thousands of numbers
are used to mask
a flagrant reality,
there is people
dying of cold and
starvation.

In laws
the language is so
confuse that lawyers
spend their time
finding holes to save
or condemn
a person depending
on who's
paying.

In religion
people tend to fight
to prove their
faith
on a god that does
not talk
to anyone
but claims at all times
to be the true
and only
one.

Mundane things...

In math
two times two
will always be
four
until someone
proves something else.

In physics to any
action
will always oppose,
with contrary sign,
an identical
reaction
without starting a
war.

In chemistry
any transformation will
take place
just to reach a more
stable state of
matter.

Now you can choose
what do you want
to rule
your
life.

THE MESSAGE

don't get into
too much
dialectic,
rhetoric,
cynicism,
or whatever
that doesn't suit
you.

the message
is simple,
we all need to
change
for good,
for the real
brotherhood of
man
where lives
simply don't have a
price...
or die.

MONEY

There are thousands
cliches
about money and
one fact:
money buys you
freedom.

Freedom from
work on what pays
instead of what you
are passionate about.
Freedom from starving,
freezing,
or falling sick and die
because you cannot
pay
medical bills.

But above all things,
money makes you free
from following
someone else's
agenda.

So, is it money
what you need
or freedom?
Are these two
indissolubly
connected
or this is what
we have been made to
believe?

Think about it.

THE SOLITUDE OF HOUELLEBECQ

When I talk to people
about a better world
they all come with the
same
sort of words;
utopia,
impossible,
far,
wish.

What is funny;
we all live behind
locked doors
but
are still worried
all day long
about not losing
freedom.

Oh, terrible
solitude
the choice of truth
shall bring...

LETTERS

There is no
I in WE
same way there is
nothing but
I in I.

I am,
then,
I can be
WE.

Because WE
cannot start
without
I.

So I am
unique,
but I am not
special.

I am different
but not
strange
to anyone.

I demand respect
and will respect
WE
because, as a matter
of fact
I
was born to be
WE.

DIGNITY

A place to live,
proper food to eat,
decent clothes to wear,
real education
and medical care.

All other concepts of
dignity
are wrong acceptations of
pride
hate
envy
greed
fear
bias
superstition
and ignorance.

As are human
the problems of
all,
not only
our
own.

BROTHERHOOD

Think how you feel
when you spend time
with your friends.
You enjoy,
laugh,
connect,
experience...

Think how you behave
with them,
support,
listen,
express,

respect,

share...

If you do not understand

what I mean,

I't does not really
matter;

is never too

late to get 

a

true
friend.

ABUSE OF ATTENTION

The right to know
often leads to over
exposure of
sick behaviors
in our daily
life.

And no, is not about
sweeping the crap
under the
carpet
nor burying our
heads
on the sand.

But when a sick
twisted
illogical
senseless act
gets more attention
than our problems
needs
issues
future
and own lives
is not anymore
the right to know
but the right to choose
what kind of
shit
floods my days
what is at
stake.

Or should I say
missing?

BULLSHIT

Here we stand
mired on bullshit,
tied by the brittle bonds of a
vain status quo,
yoked to a reality long
gone,
contemplating the
narcissistic decay
of a society
scarce in soul,
all-in on image,
poor in meaning and avoiding,
above all sins,
truth.

SOMEWHERE LIES THE FUTURE

If you ask
yourself
where lies the solution
to this chaos we
live in,
what comes up to your
mind?

Let me tell you
where
is not.
Is not in banks,
laws,
politics,
armies
or religion.

These are all
tools of a past
that still resides
among as
like a vermiform appendix
of our culture.
A vestige
of what we had to
overcome
in the process
of understanding nature
and our inevitable
briefness.

Maybe revamping all this
by means of a new
meaningful,
free,
respectful,
and harmonic
education
will help us
find out
truth.

BOUNDARIES

A fine line
on a map decides
whether you have food,
shelter,
education
or time to spend
with your loved ones.

A fine line on a map
determines
whether you believe
in something called
god,
Allah,
Jesus Christ,
Budha,
Shiva,
Jehovah,
or anything your parents
and the parents of your parents
used as a relief for
the scarcity
we are no longer entitled
to suffer.

A fine line on a map
will make you look
at someone in the other
side
as an enemy,
an intruder,
or the reason for all your
sorrows
instead of a possible
solution.

A fine line on a map
that was not there
when we first
walked this planet.

CON SUMO

Consume! Consume!
Consume!
Screams my TV...

Consume! Consume!
Consume!
I can read on newspapers,
internet video-game pages,
porn sites,
and street ads.

Will a world based on
consumption
end up consuming
it's soul
or has the soul
gone long ago
when we first
valued
ourselves
for what we
have
instead of
what we are
and do?

TREASURE

I thought many times
that I do not write enough
because poetry
does not pay bills.
Ironically, I even
wrote a poem
to say this.

But just a few days
ago
I realized this is just
another fallacy
of my mind,
incubated there by a
society
that does not want you to be
who you are
but
something else
they can
use.

So, hell to that!
I'll write poetry
and die as poor as I am
but with a smile
on my face,
which is the ultimate
(and unique)
richness
we'll take to the other
side.

SWITCHED ON

Today I have nothing else
to read in the newspapers.
I have devoured all the news
(repeated in all of them)
that i could pass
from the second line.
Sometimes (too many times)
with the headlines
is enough
as you know where
they want to take you.

I find tragicomic
that so much
misery,
sadness,
crimes,
poverty,
and all sort of scarcities
are so well known to most of us.

I find depressing
that so much
corruption,
indolence,
dishonesty
and all sort of cruelties
are so common to most
governments.

Is it me the only one
who sees?
Is it me the only one
who cares?

Fuck,
I must be getting
crazy...

Do I?

THE RISK OF DISSENT

You might not know
but things keep moving with
you,
around you,
and will do so
in spite of you too.

Going with the flow
does not mean to
obey
it all
but to embrace it
all.

Obedience is a
blindfolding
mask
blocking what
of human you've
been gifted
with.

Embracing is
fueling
and being fueled.
Embracing is
analyze,
criticize,
rethink and,
ultimately,
make it better.

A pity that dictators
have no clue
about it
as they never embraced
anything,
or anyone,
but
themselves.

PRAYER

"Maybe this world is another planet's hell"

Aldous Huxley

The Messiah has already

gone...
All the chosen ones
have been long gone with
him.
Wake up...
we are already in hell!


The lady that prays every Sunday
at church does not know it.
Even the Pope does not
know it
(or does not want to say it)
but is obvious.

We have been left alone
to repair what is left
from a lost
paradise
and the work starts now.

So wake up
before is already too late
and we are left out
again
forever and ever,
amen.
