Dear ...

Dear God
Hope you got the message, and
I pray you can make it better down here
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer
But all the people that you made in your image
See them starving on their feet
'Cause they don't get enough to eat
From God, I can't believe in you
I can't believe in you

Dear God
Sorry to disturb you, but
I feel that I should be heard loud and clear
We all need a big reduction in amount of tears
And all the people that you made in your image
See them fighting in the street
'Cause they can't make opinions meet about God
I can't believe in you
I can't believe

Did you make disease
I can't believe
And the diamond blue?
I don't believe
Did you make mankind after we made you?
I can't believe
And the devil too
I don't believe
I can't believe

Dear God
Don't know if you noticed, but
Your name is on a lot of quotes in this book
And us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look
And all the people that you made in your image still believing that junk exist
Well I know it ain't, and so do you
Dear God
I can't believe in
I don't believe in
I don't believe

I won't believe in heaven and hell
No saints, no sinners, no devil as well
No pearly gates, no thorny crown
You're always letting us humans down
The wars you bring, the babes you drown
Those lost at sea and never found
And it's the same the whole world 'round
The hurt I see helps to compound
That Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Is just somebody's unholy hoax
And if you're up there you'd perceive
That my heart's here upon my sleeve
If there's one thing I don't believe in

It's you

(Tricky & Costanza Francavilla)

Pino

Se miró en el espejo
convencido de que no se gustaba.
Resolvió ponerse boca abajo
y entonces se vio mejor.

(Gracia Iglesias)

Gato preto

Certa noite, ao regressar a casa, completamente embriagado, pareceu-me que o gato evitava a minha presença. Apanhei-o, e ele, horrorizado com a violência do meu gesto, feriu-me ligeiramente na mão com os dentes. Uma fúria se apossou rapidamente de mim. Não me reconhecia. Dir-se-ia que a minha alma original se ausentava do meu corpo num instante e uma ruindade mais do que demoníaca, saturada de genebra, fazia estremecer cada uma das fibras do meu corpo. Tirei do bolso do colete um canivete, abri-o, agarrei o pobre animal pelo pescoço e, perverso, arranquei-lhe um olho da órbita!

(Edgar Allan Poe)

Deus

Tenho um pensamento que não me larga, Que pensamento, perguntou abraão, Penso que havia inocentes em sodoma e nas outras cidades que foram queimadas, Se os houvesse, o senhor teria cumprido a promessa que me fez de lhes poupar a vida, As crianças, disse caim, aquelas crianças estavam inocentes, Meu deus, murmurou abraão e a sua voz foi como um gemido, Sim, será o teu deus, mas não foi o delas.

(José Saramago)

Siren song...

Are you my family
Can I stay with you a while
Can I stop off in your bed tonight
I could make you smile

In the morning I`ll make you breakfast
In the evening I`ll warm the bed
And I`ll always be happy to kiss you
Promise I`ll never get sad

Till the siren come calling calling
It's driving me evil evil
Mama was a heart breaker loved you
The same way I do
But I've got so much wickedness and sin

My name is Pearl
And I`ll love you the best way I know how
My blonde curls slice through your heart
And the siren come calling

It Won´t be long until you´ll running

I Help you just show yourself up fancy
Bathe you when you get sore
I'll be good i think i could
Be all you would want and more and more

Be proud when you dazzle the wondrous
Glitter your eyes for the town
Tell every last boy that you're my man
Try not to let you down

Till the siren come calling calling
It's driving me evil evil
Mama was a heart breaker loved you
The same way Ido
But I've got so much wickedness and sin

My name is Pearl
And I`ll love you the best way i know how
My blonde curls slice through your heart
And the stars are exploding in yours eyes
It won't be long until you'll running
No it won't be long until you´ll running
It won't be long until you´ll running
`cause I`m evil 'cause I'm evil

(Bat for Lashes)

O momento é agora ...

Criança em Ruínas

Eu sou um céu morto.
Venceu-me o inverno e eu
luto a seu lado para me
destruir.
Nunca fui criança.
Nunca encontrei ingenuidade ou
arrependimento...

(José Luís Peixoto)
