Batedores

The computers of mega corporations work full time, day after day
Their high executives roam in a world of fanaticism and
Devotion, worshiping the omnipresent God Naiq/ Even
When they should be off, they don’t stop
Researching. Investigating the streets, looking for new
Clues. For decades they’ve been buying and bribing
Congress members, democrats, moderns, liberals
Sponsoring presidential campaigns, funding
Government plans, arming, plotting new global
Consortia that quickly take control of vast
And strategic state assets - in short
Conquering small, medium, and large emerging
Markets on every continent, what we once
Called countries
Renegade, baiter I am
No, no, no, we’re not just talking about macroeconomics or
Geopolitics. We’re talking about mutations
Institutions, parties, values, and concepts
(Religions, after all) that cancel or
Vulgarize themselves with every rotation of the earth. Of souls
And minds that mutate. Of the abject beings PDM - Holders
Of Moral Deficiency. But flaunting their shiny
Digital cell phones, palm-tops, armored windshields, and
Naiq caps, these are just the pathetic villains of
Our story
To frame the heroes, we have to shift the
Scene. Let’s visualize a metropolitan area of a
Decaying market, the cradle of a true army of
Misfits, baiters
Alleyways of hunger, Nightsticks, Shotguns
In this hostile environment, the password for survival
Is a balanced response to a recurring
Conflict. On one side, the dubious and farcical resistance
Of established traditions, and on the other, the dangerous
Seduction of the antennas
But the baiter doesn’t eat from anyone’s hand, we don’t pray
By the book of the Naiqmen, our fuel is sound. Not
That contaminated stuff that housewives fight over on
The discount shelves of big stores
Incorporated just because they’ve heard it a million times
In Nike spaces, sacred temples of Sir Nike, that
Will never be hit by lost missiles
We smell from afar the scent of diluted incorporation
We’re always in the rough areas and we have the power to
Absorb only the beat that never gets beaten.
