Nuclear

Nuclear fire,
through a rusty needle,
injected into veins of burnished steel
to the cemented heart
supported by dies of hot, compressed blood,
made of pulsing light,
until a bar of graphite rods it,
interrupting, in a flash of splinters,
the mutant fusion
of the emotional cores.

Stopped the instincts,
broken the chain of rational fractures,
only remain radioactive storage bins,
abandoned to acid rain,
releasing edible isotopes
that seep under the glossy surface
of the unstable words,
feeding the basins with he liquid energy
of the transgenic consciences
cultivated with inox wheat.
Do not drink!
Do not drink this iridescent water!
It could illuminate the darkest corners
of the underground perturbations
in your mind.

Frogs and our inertia to change

If you throw a frog into boiling water, the animal will jump out and will save itself, perhaps with a few burns. But if you put it in cold water and slowly you increase the temperature, the frog will be boiled.

This simple and logical conclusion, that I hope you don’t want to verify, is well suited to the description of human psychology that tends to being resistant to change (mental inertia), because man is basically a coward and cowardly he searches safety in habit, in routine and in censure of the truth.

There would be nothing wrong with this desire for peace, except that when the warning signs begin to emerge from the bottom of the pot in the form of large bubbles, routinary man tends to ignore them, because now used to and fond of that habitat.

And that is what is happening with the phenomenon of global warming: the global warnings are ignored and are instead appreciated the beneficial effects of warm, termal wather in which we are slowly cooking ourself, like frogs in a pot named Earth.
