Your hands around my throat

 
Sidney Lumet. “Network”. 1977

“Flawed, the extradition request
Blown, the freedom of conscience
Is there some form of justice possible or
So long, public's right to know the truth
Gagged, muzzled by the powerful
Cultivate ignorance and hate

The goal is to manipulate
Heavy hands to intimidate
Snuff out the very idea of clarity
Strangle your longing for truth and trust
Choke, wisdom sapience and prudence
The war economy is inviolable violently
Suppresses all intelligence that conflicts
With the stakes of those who drive it”

Hay miserias muy respetadas y miserias que nunca serán respetables. El equilibrio democrático que el mundo “civilizado” pretende vendernos se queda en política de palabras estériles que aniquilan alguna opción de ética progresista, de creencia democrática, de verosimilitud social.
