I

the conversation
so many times 

has turned 

into utopia

in a world

in disarray

II

Some justify swearing and aggression

claiming  others were insulted 

others were attacked 

and just a few if any

defended the opressed

I haven't been 

yet

convinced

by arguments

from defenders of

humiliations
cancellations
lynchings

stonings

beatings

swearing

spanking

III

Through democratic principles, 

I don't even agree 

with the conviction 

using forged evidence

I oppose violence 

against any being

verbal or physical

do not undertand

difference of ideas

as personal attack

IV

In everyday life

remains little room

for open conversation

throngs tries to struck

truths at someone

else's throat

through

shared shots

shut up

shouts

IV

what is worth in it for me?

V

democratic dialogue; 

the dialectic of ideas;

asking open questions 

for which I do not know 

the answers in advance;

proposals of

interventionist 

political actions 

searching for transformation

of a sick society 

VI

 sexist 

 racist  

 classist

 

VII

maybe

too much 

of a lamb 

surrounded 

by accute eye

of birds of prey

VIII

feeling the burden 

of remain utopian

in a dystopian 

world

IX 

I try to reconcile

through

a third

way

X

Interest

less

anguish

XI

maybe 

capable

to settle

at the safest nest

XII

I 

value 

equity  

dialogicity

hybridization

the mestizo and the syncretic

freedom without libertarianism

respect 

for those near 

and far far away

XIII

 without dialogue 

 succumbs democracy

XIV

but

for democracy

masks 

would be needed

to protect

from 

pepper spray

the batons hiss

rubber bullets whiz

XIII

amidst intense uproars

 the extrem

rebounds

XII

 previously 

muted people

now scream swear fight back

XI

the swingers

loudly ululate

cheers the rage

at the aged coliseum

X

who would

                   pay thousands

                                         for new tickets 

                 to see old tricks

at the coliseum 

IX

in unrestricted
hunger for power

hidden pact
has been disguised 
as existencial struggle

X

band
together
neoliberals
neoconservatives

their great fight
keep 
fortune
privileges

while
we the people
prepare to be
slaughtered
in uncivilian 
wars

IX

 similar and shared interests

the extreme left

in the streets 

ululates

band 

together

anarchists 

and Black-Blocks 

they fight against all

while few fight

for quality of education;

 basic transport;

 street carnival;

 decent housing

even few fight 

for the turn 

of protec

into material rights 

 social and fundamental 

 then

again

 the batons hiss

 rubber bullets whiz

again and again

   masks protect eyes 

from pepper spray

X

 the end of history 

 did not take place 

 the class struggle 

 didn't arrive to an end 

the fight expands 

 every cold night

 every torrid day 

XI

 The world 

is torn apart 

 constantly unstable 

 all at a cry 

side against side

 against specters of our past

 light and changeable darkness

 between eternity and temporality

xiV

  atrocities 

frequently recommitted

 let's think about the dissimilarities

 idealists and pessimists

wanderers and travelers 

 fighting in a heterotopia

 out-protecting

its  

contraditory

rationalities and nightmares
