47 § Locke...

Only one country
gave birth to a philosopher
whose ideas led to the freedom
of many other countries;
how does History honour him?
by forgetting him,
by replacing him,
by envying him,
by making new generations believe
he did not exist...

46 § Ideas...

A new world system is established,
new bright ideas and inventions...
those who lose power,
drop nasty comments into people´s ears...
inventors learn the lesson and
drop theirs into the world´s computers
standing out once more...

36 § Ancestors...

Millions of men and women
left their dear country,
their traditions,
their lands,
their trees and flowers,
their animals,
their belongings,
their boats and seas,
their relatives and friends, dead or alive,
their music,
their language...
sailed away
while their nations
bled and got deserted...

35 § Elasticity...

As a consequence of
violent and aggressive policies,
after stretching patiently,
a society reaches its elastic limit
and,
if citizens are not protected,
society itself
becomes deformed
forever...

For some politicians
"distributing money",

33 § Taxes...

What´s the purpose of
paying taxes??
Are governments supposed
to help the people of their countries
with the money paid??
so, why do some presidents and ministers
behave as if that money was their own?...

32 § Number...

Wouldn´t environmental problems
be reduced if fewer people
were born on Earth??
wouldn´t it reduce the consumption
of unrenewable resources??
wouldn´t the number of conflicts
decrease?

31 § Revolutioners...

A few promise a new world
