Causes and Chances
Song in Harapos
How easy it is to wave a handkerchief to the solar troop
from the Marxist manifesto and the history of hunger
How easy it is to sigh at the gesture of the man
who fulfills a duty
and give clothes to the poor girl
daughter of the driver
how easy the opportunity is to mask.
How easy it is to deceive someone who does not know how to read
How many colors, how many facets the petit bourgeois has.
How easy it is to transcend with fame for being original
but it is known that among the blind the one-eyed man usually rules nothing
how well the petit bourgeois prepares his mask.
Long live the rag sir
and the table without a tablecloth
long live the one who smells like an alley
to swear words and workshop.
From a full table anyone decides to applaud
the caravan in rags of all the poor
from an imported tablecloth and an aged wine
they fight very well
from a giant table and an elegant car
you also suffer
at a friendly feast you usually see fighting.
If easy it is easier to abuse How easy it is to condemn
and to play roles in history so that it makes a place for you.
How easy it is to protest the bomb that fell
a thousand kilometers from the closet and the refrigerator
how easy it is to write something that invites action
against tyrants, against murderers
against the cross or divine power
always within reach of the stained glass window and the dining room.
Long live the rag, sir
and the table without a tablecloth
long live the one who smells like an alleyway
like swear words and a workshop.
