As Memórias Do Amanhã Longínquo

I must be a monster

I turn on the TV

And I see all my problems

In a different perspective,

All my worries sweep away,

I feel like stunned with apathy

While houses, cars,

Trains, trees, animals,

People,

Like toys in

A puddle of mud,

So surreal.

It´s hard to believe,

It´s hard to feel the size

Of it, when

People are used

To make a big drama

About a look,

A touch, about life´s

Simple things.

I must be a monster,

Because my heart

Is more easily touched

With a slap in the face

Than with the sight

Of the end of the world.
