es lo que es
las noticias de la vida
todo cambia pero
quedan las heridas
y yo que fui
tan perdido por aquí
me encontraré
la paz sin ser
cometido ha mentiras
.
(musical interlude … lots of horns)
.
Y es lo que es
la vida por noticias
nada cambia pero
quedan injusticias
y yo que fui
educado por aquí
me encontraré
razon sin ser
cometido ha malicias
.
(repeat music … end with horns and cymbals)

200 laid off equines
from the republic
of windows and doors
took over the building
as its closure
meant that their living
was leaving
without guaranteeing
their severance pay
would surely be made
in exactly the same way
that the corporate dogs
from the banks
got their scratch
from the pigs
who are running
this animal farm —
but you have to remember
the addendum, my brothers,
not that we are equals,
but that some “are more equal
than others.”

Picasso said while painting the original on which I base my sketch: “My whole life as an artist has been nothing more than a continuous struggle against reaction and the death of art.”
Just because you’re paranoid,
doesn’t mean you’re not being watched.
