A veces tengo, en mi cabeza, mucho que podría postear, pero pocas ganas de escribir.

Por hoy, ya que tengo todo a la mano, prefiero compartir un poema de Taalam Acey, un poeta urbano de esos que suelen hacer sus performances en cualquier gran ciudad del mundo, entre licor y cigarros.

En este caso su, desesperada y no vengada, visión del mundo tuvo la fortuna de ser transformada en animación. En una muy buena a decir verdad.

Sugiero, utilizando el método patentado por mi amigo el nunca diestro reindertot®: "Dale play. Dale pausa. Espera que cargue todo el video mientras lees lo siguiente."



True Lies
by Taalam Acey

There’s nothing more romantic than fantasy
and we can make the war on terror distract them
like videos and tv shows with scantily clad women.
Cover’em with oil.
Rub it in like lotion.
Put F-16s in the sky and battleships in the ocean.
The voter’s won’t notice.
Tell’em “You’re either with us or against us”
and in the same breath over-vaccinate our soldiers.
They’ll wanna believe these lies are the truth
to the point that even Cynthia McKinney with proof
won’t be able to convince them
that there’s a connection between the war on terror
and the Carlyle Group.
They’ll need to believe these lies are true.
I said, over-vaccinate our soldiers
and coat their ammunition with radioactive d.u.
Fear is the final frontier of the defenseless.
If it’s logical tell them, “It’s senseless.”
You’re either with us or against us.
It’s all about confusion.
Name it “The Patriot Act” if it acts against
The Constitution.
“One man, one vote” is a joke.
You should be more concerned about
your family going broke.
Poof!
...mirrors…smoke.
Now…watch me raise spending
and lower taxes.
The answer to any question
that the 9-1-1 Commission might ask is
“Uhhmm…we believe that
stem cell research is immoral.”
North Korea has WMDs
translation: Time for Operation
Iraqi Liberation.
Sacrifice American lives on Baghdad soil.
Earn more from our investments in defense
and increase our supply of oil.
The question is,
“How come we haven’t done anything about
the genocide in Darfur?”
The answer is,
“Uhm…Uhm…we believe in protecting
the sanctity of marriage.”
“No!”
“No child left behind!”
“Wait!”
Just give’em a slogan.
“Let’s Roll!”
“We’re gonna smoke’em out of their holes!”
Watch the hands…waaatch the haaannds.
In this hand: Osama Bin Laden.
In this hand: The World Trade Center explodes.
Now, I know you want me to get him for you
but the 2 hundred billion dollar question is
“How much is it worth to you
for me to allow my cronies investments
in defense to work for you?”
Don’t worry about what we knew
prior to the fact about the attacks.
That’s a distraction.
“Carol Ann, look away from the oil fields!”
The important thing to remember
is that voting for my opponent
will get your family killed.
There’s a connection
between his election
and your family’s demise.
That’s why African American voters
have to be disenfranchised.
Neo-democracy means
that the electronic voting machine
companies get to help us decide
that way you can win the election
and still lose.
That’s the new “New World Order.”
Global economy.
No Borders.
No sovereignty.
Widows cries.
Corporate plutocracy.
True Lies!
