For the Joes and Donalds around the Globe

(Written by Rodrigo Machado Tavares on the 08th November 2020) 

The world is not black and white 

I am not talking about the Fitzpatrick skin type 

I am talking about a broader divisive tendency 

we have even for classifying our existence 

“There is good and bad in everyone” 

Paul and Steven used to sing along 

We are people: complex minds 

We can be evil and we can be kind 

We are all on the same boat of life 

So, it is not as easy as cutting a cheese with a knife 

Politics, philosophy, sexuality, football… 

 In the end, all of these are too small…

… we are all living now … as, ironically, we are all “dying” every single day… perhaps we might discover, there is no actual death… there is no end… or actually there is actual end… whatever this might be… it will be pretty soon for all of us… sometimes even sooner than what we expect and “plan”… so I guess what they say is that all these things are indeed too small… thus the legacy for what we can “fight” can be left through our work and daily actions which often are anonymous and they are seen and counted in our consciousness… and collective consciousness.
