Analogía de Una Sociedad Que No Piensa

I watched stars in the sky before seeing the darkness
And even though I liked them, I never tried to reach them
Not because I didn't want to, but because others
Focused on making sure I didn't see them anymore

One day I woke up and the black sky began to change
The stars were flowing at the rhythm of the darkness
Engulfing me, leading me towards another reality
While whispering that I was heading to a better place

I didn't understand then that the brightness would change
That the stars I watched would soon fade away
That nothing I observed would be restored
I closed my eyes for a moment and woke up in the darkness

Soon I saw that great walls surrounded me endlessly
I realized I wasn't alone, I saw there were others with me
Even though it was strange, everyone saw it as normal
And I was the crazy one, the paranoid who thought: Something was wrong!

Here no one remembers their original dream

Because the stars that were their dreams stopped shining
Due to those walls of an artificial world
Where we're taught that the ceiling is the end

It was hard to accept and understand it more
I didn't know where I was and how long it would take
It seemed like no one cared about what that place was
As they obeyed every rule without questioning

Daily they inject us with doses of not escaping
And fill us with optimism to reach
That ceiling they said: It was the final goal
That each of us should touch one day

But what's happening!
I didn't want to reach the ceiling
Those goals on the ceiling were never my ideal
I tried to understand why no one wanted to escape
Because living inside a cube when they could fly outside

And despite being alone in that way of thinking
I climbed towards the ceiling pretending I wanted to reach it
To prevent them from bringing me down if they discovered the truth
That I wasn't looking for that ceiling, but to escape!

Here no one remembers their original dream
Because the stars that were their dreams stopped shining
Due to those walls of an artificial world
Where we're taught that the ceiling is the end

That the ceiling is the end

Little by little I climbed walls without a clear end
The only idea that embraced me was the power to escape
Recover the ideals they tried to take from me
And see the stars I always dreamed of reaching again

Because that small space tried to limit
My desires and abilities, turn me into one more
Of those who just accepted that outside is not worth it
That inside is where everything that will lead us to succeed

Suddenly I reached the top, and I discovered I had the power
To distance myself from that ceiling that wanted to contain me
Like the balloons it holds filled with helium
I destroyed the ceiling and saw the goals I once dreamed of having!

Here outside I see goals that very few will see
Because many are still in that box of eternal darkness
That limits dreams and imposes an ideal
That even though strange and unwanted, many will accept
