Extraño Mundo

Planet Earth, twenty-first century.
Millions of people from the so-called "first world"
find out on TV about wars far away
that will fill human stories with death.

And meanwhile, just across the street
brick by brick, several lonelinesses coexist.
I don’t know my neighbor, not even a detail.
A suicide happens without anyone shedding a tear.

STRANGE WORLD. UNEXPLAINABLE.
WHAT'S HAPPENING TO US?
IS IT THAT WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF AIR?

After a very lavish dinner,
millions of people in this "so important" country
find out on TV that in distant lands,
there are orphanages filled with inhuman cries.

And meanwhile, three streets down,
a young girl covers her face with tears.
Ninety thousand abortions isn’t a relevant number.
Now we have to convince ourselves that everything's the same as before.

STRANGE WORLD. UNEXPLAINABLE.
WHAT'S HAPPENING TO US?
IS IT THAT WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF AIR?
