Alex Elmagico

The radio waves are bringing the rustle-
Famine, the war, and racial clashes.
A play of a child building the castle
From the trash and the nuclear ashes.

Greenhouse gas, thawing of ice,
The life which has lost its balance and track.
This God who is playing the dice
Is raving, spaced out on acid and crack.

                The eye in the sky, a silent scream,
                The train's speeding up to the infernal kingdom.
                My death will shatter the chains of a dream
                Giving the space to the eternity's freedom.

The noxious wind, the poisonous rain,
Corrupted genes, smoke from the chimney.
Doctor's X-ray, a cancerous pain,
Leper in rags selling his kidney.

Those born dead, Big Pharma sales,
Ravaging AIDS, the syringe's sting,
Spills of the oil, suicidal whales.
Blind guides the blind, the deaf is conducting.

                The eye in the sky, a silent scream,
                The train's speeding up to the infernal kingdom.
                My death will shatter the chains of a dream
                Giving the space to the eternity's freedom.
