Retrospectiva



2idiotas, um na presidência, 
um logo abaixo, fora os outros 
dois estrupícios, um aqui, 
outro lá 

0 contribuições para a UNE
Zero grana para facilitar um movimento
Zero vírgula sete por cento de desenvolvimento 
Zero de vergonha na cara da mídia comemorando “a retomada”

1povo desanimado e adoecido
Um povo louco na rua pedindo volta da ditadura 
Um dia para celebrar uma injustiça semi remediada 
Um dia para se alegrar

9vezes pensei em desistir, em partir
Nove vezes me lembrei de resistir, de persistir
Nove escritores no máximo é o que cabe aqui 
Mas nove vezes nove vezes nove vezes nove vezes 
Nos levarão a algum lugar 
Quando ou depois de 2020 chegar

When a murderer lives inside your head

Schopenhauer says to live is to climb a mountain and when you see what is waiting for you on the other side of the mountain too early in life, you can never climb it the same way. I saw what was on the other side and decided I was simply not climbing that mountain anymore, unless pushed the way up. You wouldn’t realize that just by looking at me then. You wouldn’t see that I had quit. I would wake up, take showers, eat (actually there would be a lot of eating), go to work, do whatever obligation I was supposed to. I would even go out with friends or family. But if you looked really closer, you would realize I was only automatically responding to demands, except for the food. Food became my only source of pleasure. How was all the rest performed? At work, if there were tasks and deadlines, I’d do them, using no more than the basic skills required.   As to my social life, it rested on the plans of others. They would say when and where to go. They would pick me up and bring me ho...

The lizard and the delicate winged creature

" What's on your mind?" asked the lizard. "Worlds are on my mind. Worlds lying beyond this insignificant place of ours." Replied the little delicate creature.  "And what would you do if you could reach them?" inquired still the reptile.  "I would sunk my teeth deep on each one of them. I'd live more than a thousand lives. I 'd dive into all my passions and follow on every whim." answered the seemingly frail winged animal.  The lizard smirked: "But you don't even have teeth, silly ignoble dreamer!"  "Be certain, I would grow some!"  Retorted the creature, turning around and resolutely flapping  its wings in the direction of the silvery shining sky.  The lizard remained still, its cold blood even colder,  its eyes, static, staring at the imenseness above.  The creature, it never saw it again. But now, the lonely lizard could not help, it could not control, it could not resist. While standing on its rock, feeling ...

I upset people (This may be the first of a series)

I feel I upset many people. Maybe it is something I do, but the feeling I get is that what upsets them is the way I live, the choices I make. People get upset with me when they hear I don't believe in God. If I tell them that I once did, but have lost my faith after I lost my first child, a premature baby, they fail to grasp the complexity of it. They look at me with irritating condescendent pityful eyes and they think I can be "fixed." To be fair, maybe I fail to help them understand that after what happened to me, God as I came to know it and most people of Christian beliefs do, is of no use to me.  God proved himself either nonexistent or useless to me when my first born died and when I almost followed him due to Eclampsia and Hellp Syndrome (Go ahead and google it! Unless you are doctor or had someone in the family who had this, you will never know it.) He did not save my baby and he did not spare me the excruciating suffering I had to endure. And if you think I...
