# the heat doesn't go away # the rain doesn't come # the drought remains on the cracked land and on putrid carcasses of dead animals # fires incinerate everything # landscapes houses people # undaunted and serene the media give us good days and appealing images of all disasters # ours and those of the world # after all Earth is prone to so many risks that we risk losing it # irreversibly

APOCALIPSE

# o calor não passa # a chuva não vem # a seca instala-se na terra gretada e nas pútridas carcaças dos animais mortos # os incêndios incineram tudo # paisagens casas pessoas # impávidos e serenos os média dão-nos os bons dias e aliciantes imagens de todas as desgraças # as nossas e as do mundo # a Terra afinal é vulnerável a tantos riscos que corremos o risco de a perder # irreversivelmente
