'I live in a city where playgrounds
are built under the summer sun
while Banks enjoy the shade.
Where cars are double-lane
and a narrow sidewalk for pedestrians.
Where you are a number who pays taxes
and a zero when your voice rises.
Where cameras monitor the Innocent
while criminals manage them.
Where you feel yourself a piece of food
Twisted digested by the stomach
of The Streets.
Where people hide their eyes and just
the sellers of useless things keep it steady.
Where the shouts of the street come into your home and the voices of the neighbors whispers in your ear.
I live in a city with so many corrupt politicians
that we prefer to believe them honest cause not enough cells could host them.
Where they should dedicate a street to bribery,
and an avenue to nepotism.
Where criminals live two streets below the victims,
that cross the gaze at the supermarket,
that collect the hot coins of change which had been paid by the killer of your son.
And there are laws and justice for those who can afford and every move
requires the endorsement of a lawyer who drown our hopes,
a judge who always find the lift guilt of the innocent and jumps above the offender's guilt.
I live two streets over yours,
in every city, everywhere. "
No idea who is this guy, but rocks. However there are some translations to english are not well at all. But what he explains worth.
