They or Us?

Funny the situation of the actual world,
We do follow the rules like fools
I'm sorry it is like this, but it's the truth
I'm sorry we are like this, but it's the truth

And how easy it is to close
How easy to stand apart
How easy to say it's none of our business
How easy we wash our hands

When we're the ones who should the most
Know what happens, understand the situation
I see faces in suffering
Faces that take away my breath

We are hypocrits, we say it's not our concern
We live in bubbles, forgetting our human condition
To our convenience, at the expense of everyone else's
Until our existence is at risk

The drums rumble, we shake
And slowly we turn back to be quiet
And slowly we turn back
to our state of ignorance

Why do we live like this?
It is true that ignorance is bliss
When will be out of this?
What do you know about the world you live in?

  1. Nice poem :)
    But don't you think it'd be cooler to write new poems in English instead of translating your old Spanish ones? The original meaning or rhymes get lost in translation, no?
