Leave it for Tomorrow

Related image

Leave it for tomorrow
You might as well do it today
Because tomorrow I know you're postponing again
And you know well how time runs away
But you do nothing to grab it

Yet another day and you did nothing
One day more, you think it's alright
Comes another day and all repeats itself
And you let it be all the same

Leave it for tomorrow
You might as well live today
Because tomorrow you don't even know if you'll be here
Oh, you know well how life runs away
Even from those who say they're here to stay

Yet another day and you lived nothing
You let the days go by unchanged
When you think of the time you've lost
Then you want to, but it's too late

Leave it for tomorrow
Let it be, don't do today
Because tomorrow, everything might be alright
Oh, you know well how work runs away
Even from those who say they want to work

I know you have been searching around
For this post that fits you well
The ones that show up, you don't get to like
And the ones you do are already taken

I count no days
But the time is near
Yet my own fear
Is not enough to veer
My train of thoughts
Oh, so queer.

Trova Nonsense - SP

Anões besuntados de óleo
Ovelhas de cinta-liga
Azeite de oliva na cara
Catupiry na barriga
Se elefante voasse
Seria o rei dos insetos
Mas como elefante não voa
Não é o rei dos insetos

Covering up the real issue



Meryl Streep's speech sounded void and hypocritical. She, as Hillary's supporter, has trouble accepting her defeat. It's really easy to criticize Trump, as the man is a monster with all his flaws openly visible, unlike Clinton, who is a monster in disguise. That was a demagogic speech, appealing to the audience, like if Hillary had ever been a good option.

This kind of speech, though, doesn't go any deeper than that, it doesn't attack the oligarchic bipartisan dictatorship that compels the American people to choose between a xenophobic racist and a genocidal imperialist, who would plunge the country in a number of wars across the world in order to satisfy the interests of the local high bourgeoisie. Hillary, a warmonger sponsered by major capitalists, has already contributed to the murder of thousands of innocent people, and to the devastation laid over entire nations, and, given the chance, she would surely go farther than this.

Trump, Obama, Hillary, Bush, Clinton, are nothing but employees of the highest oligarchies of the United States, without any commitment with their people, who would not think twice before massacring poorer nations and peoples, exploiting them to absolute misery, sponsoring coups d'état, and so on. None of them deserves such a passionate defense.

What should be put on the table is a discussion on the current electoral system, that is just a contest between candidates of the big corporations, in which the interests of people aren't represented by anything. As long as this is not contested, speeches like this will be mere falacy.
