Alone

There was a world full of people...
...and among them there was a boy.
The boy didn't like crime...
...so he eliminated all the criminals.
The boy didn't like garbage on the street...
...so he eliminated those messy ones.
The boy didn't like violence...
...so he eliminated all the violent.
The boy didn't like smoke...
...so he eliminated all the smokers.
The boy didn't like selfish people...
...so he eliminated those too.
The boy didn't like people talking too loud...
...so he eliminated all the noisy ones.
The world was now a peaceful, silent, clean place...
...but the boy felt alone.

Escuta


"Escuta com o hemisfério direito do cérebro" querem eles dizer...
Eu tento.
Tento escutar.
Mas como vou ouvir desse lado
com todo o barulho que me entra pelo esquerdo ?
Não me falem nesse ouvido,
falem no outro,
ou calem-se.
A cabeça pesa, mas só de um lado.
Deve haver por aqui uns fios trocados,
neurónios que perderam a ligação,
ou simplesmente pesos a mais na balança.
