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.

o0o at the moment, many terrible terrible situations ...
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
