Cântico

Limarás tua esperança
até que a mó se desgaste;
mesmo sem mó, limarás
contra a sorte e o desespero.

Até que tudo te seja
mais doloroso e profundo.
Limarás sem mãos ou braços,
com o coração resoluto.

Conhecerás a esperança,
após a morte de tudo.

Canga - Carlos Nejar

Democracy

"the problem, of course, isn't the Democratic System,
it's the
living parts which make up the Democratic System.
the next person you pass on the street,
multiply
him or
her by
3 or 4 or 30 or 40 million
and you will know
immediately
why things remain non-functional
for most of
us

I wish I had a cure for the chess pieces
we call Humanity...

we've undergone any number of political
cures

and we all remain
foolish enough to hope
that the one on the way
NOW
will cure almost
everything.

fellow citizens,
the problem never was the Democratic
System, the problem is

you."

C. Bukowski
