People on Fire
The strangeness these days is that everything happens without our choice
We live crammed by abstract entities without shareholder control
It's said that capital is the supreme good and cannot be exposed to bankruptcy - at the expense of social fragility failure and fear
Politicians laugh at us and say they cannot do better
Clergy appease the hungry worshipers
And people knead the dust of fields eat nettles and fight forest fires.
///
O estranho nos dias que correm é que tudo acontece sem a nossa escolha
Vivemos entulhados de entidades abstractas sem controlo dos accionistas
Diz-se que o capital é o bem supremo e não pode ser exposto à falência - à custa da míngua social do fracasso e do medo
Os políticos riem-se de nós e dizem não poder fazer melhor
O clero apazigua os fiéis esfomeados
E o povo amassa a poeira dos campos come urtigas e combate os incêndios florestais.

it is difficult to feel easy and comfortable with the
world events. We have had terrible storms ... and
many people have lost their houses and belongings,
nothing compared to loss of life of course ... but
to the people concerned .. all these situations are
almost impossible to comprehend how they feel
and how they cope oOo
