Like a dog

 
You break an egg and there's nothing inside,
between lack of will and surprise
you decide to become a vegetarian and send
an ovo-lacto contempt for everyone.

Animal protein consumers
who might want to find something
inside the shell of an egg
and they think the watermelon's red
is good because it could be blood, but it's not!

Bloody-Mary at five o'clock
like a tea for an Englishman who says he knows
but he never goes there to confirm
and after others say they don't want to
go there and say it should have been different
with one or two saccharin tablets.

Ich bin, Tha mi, Cinsiyetim and nobody knows anything
and says that it was the others who attacked, who did, who killed...
kill, we kill everyone with our silence
and our engaged pseudo-observations
and full of western certainties, we are all the other,
but when our turn comes, when it touches us,
when it hurts us, we immediately put our tails between our legs
and we wait for mommy to huff and cuddle.

In this world like fuck it,
who is not well put something in the mouth or up the ass,
children who have not learned to read
because the school got tired of teaching,
adults who do not want to read for what is written
is too true to escape from
and no one else is interested in knowing how to read,
knowing how to understand
and what's worse is that no one wants to assume
what you have is a bitch of a fucking laziness to think
and analyze what is happening around us.

So we all run to the market
and we buy our gluten-free water bottles
and any yogurt that makes us shit better
for the pain of others and allow us to imagine
that hemorrhoids only burst in the ass of others,
happy with our television contests
and the station politicians, modern, tuned
and happy with our state-of-the-art mobile phones
of which we do not use even 10% of the functions,
as if we had our own brain between our fingers.

Happy to be the vegans of the day,
the trendy hipsters or the house and dog owners.
Happy to pretend we're happy, but not!
Happy as dogs licking their own balls.
