Nobel Prize
Are you a nightmare or an oracle,unavoidable?Are you the future, or a plausibleworst-case scenario?You've visited in my sleepEvery night this weekCurled yourself in my lapAnd smiled while you spoke:"Once we've poisoned all the waterOnce we've blackened out the airWe'll finish murdering each otherFair is fair"I tried to talk you down:"There's a better half you're not looking atA greater empathy - "You shrugged me off,Talked over me:"You & your simple lifeCome at a complex priceAnd they're busting through the gatesTo steal it for themselves -I say we razorblade the bordersOr even take the fight to themLetras de cancionesLet's go slaughtering the nativesAgainOr we can fire up the programLet the drones do all the dirtMight even win a Nobel Peace PrizeWell-deserved"It's every bit as uglyEvery bit as brutalEvery bit as dark as it's lightParalyzed, wondering whyWhile she's dead asleepI'm starving for protectionPulled in all directionsNever certain which is the lie:The elegance of being alive,Or the agony
