It doesn't cause any effect
being polite without reflection
of what you're here to do.
It's not a roof over your head
that will shelter when you're dead
if love is strange for you.
It's not about choosing a style
if it's true they stole your smile,
clothes won't laugh for you.
Dismiss all trendy topics or
whatever new misery-porn,
god is overdue.
It doesn't matter where you're from
if it's true you don't belong
or if you break in two.
It doesn't matter who you are,
if you scream, the aid is far,
a star is dead for you.
And the truth about it
is that the ones able to help
are held within their greed,
and they puke on their food
as they pray that you get fish
without a river near, without a river near.
It doesn't count if you're the Pope
if you wear gold you're a snob
using hounds for crew.
It doesn't count if you live right
for the ones within your sight
'cause right comes back at you.
It is fear that drives you
instead of yearning peace
or equality,
and a fist surprises you
when your silence points the guns
daily at their feet, while you're asleep.
It doesn't make a difference
recycling shit to make amends
for cruel ego in all.
It's not enough to slam our hands,
if we feast in restaurants,
to be responsible.
