Laws | Write Out Loud

A nation flooded with laws is condemned by power,

which adapts and manipulates them

to its convenience and fancy

Laws

A nation overburdened with laws is condemned

by the rulers who use them to control and punish

those who do not conform and do not accept to kneel

When the fate of the people

is placed in the hands of a few,

the lives of millions hang in the balance,

and the glow of nihilism and fear prevails

History shows us a few highlights for humanity,

but so far it has been based on the accumulation

of wealth and power. Is it not a coincidence or an irony

that those who achieve it are the ones who make the

laws and always manage to go unpunished?

Religious narratives, and those of equality and justice,

have not been of much use;

they have been drowned in an ocean of blood

Cynicism imposes itself, crushes wills at will,

destroys and subjugates, in the midst

of an inexplicable puzzle of inequality and poverty,

and with its laws it is capable of killing

without needing to justify itself

We are heading towards an uncertain destiny

that we neither want nor seek,

and our dreams disappear

in the cold gray of indifference

 139

There is no regard for life,

our days are spent in a maelstrom of aggression

and human dignity is trampled by laws

that only serve to protect the powerful

Lies and abuses are hidden behind layers of distraction

so that everything is forgotten and nothing is questioned

The trap is as hidden as the Roman Colosseum;

now it is the social networks, with tasteless jokes

and strange narratives that have neither head nor tail;

this is how the world is stupefied by truths that are lies

and lies disguised as truths

It is sad to see where this story leads to,

when the common man no longer proposes or has ideas

because he is censored and ends

up believing in falsehoods

It will all culminate in a flattened society

where children will be automatons,

people will have no say in their own future,

and the word “freedom” will be completely erased by

laws that force people to keep their minds

and mouths shut
