the conversation

so many times 

has turned 

into utopia

in a dystopian world

 I haven't been 

yet convinced 

by arguments 

from defenders of

humiliations; 

cancellations 

lynchings; 

stonings; 

beatings; 

swearing; 

spanking;

Some justify swearing and aggression

 claiming  others were insulted 

 others were attacked 

 and just a few if any

defended political

minorities

Through democratic principles, 

 I don't even agree 

with the conviction 

using forged 

evidence

I oppose violence 

against any being

verbal or physical

III

do not undertand

contradiction of ideais 

as personal

attack

In 

everyday life

little room for open conversation 

throngs tries to struck 

truths at someone 

else's throat 

through

shared shots

shouts shut up

what is worth in it for me?

IV

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 transform 

of a sick society 

 sexist 

 racist  

 classist

 

V 

maybe

too much 

of a lamb 

surrounded 

by accute eyes

of birds of prey

feeling the burden 

of remain utopian

in a dystopian 

world

I try to reconcile

through

a third

way

less

anguish

maybe 

capable

to settle

at the safest nest

...

dialogue:

VI

I 

value 

equity  

dialogicity

hybridization

the mestizo and the syncretic

freedom without libertarianism

respect 

for those near 

and far far away

VII

 without dialogue 

 succumbs democracy

VIII

for democracy

do not succumb

masks would need to be found 

 to protect from 

pepper spray

the batons hiss

rubber bullets whiz

amidst intense uproars

 the extrem

rebounds

 previously 

muted people

now scream swear fight back

the wingers

loudly ululate

cheers the rage

at the aged coliseum

who would

                   pay thousands

                                         for new tickets 

                    to the tricks

at the coliseum 

IX
in unrestricted
hunger for power

hidden pact
has been disguised 
as existencial struggle

band
together
neoliberals
neoconservatives

their great fight
keep 
fortune
privileges

while
we the people
prepare to be
slaughtered
in uncivilian 
wars

https://x.com/vanres74/status/1854168408809447624?t=godgaf4sWCepO4ZplefZZA&s=19

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

fight 

for the turn 

of formal rights

into material rights 

 social and fundamental 

 then

again

 the batons hiss

 rubber bullets whiz

   masks protect eyes 

from pepper spray

X

 the end of history 

 did not take place 

 the class struggle 

 didn't arrive to a 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
