the screen effect
Look at you in the mirror, brilliant journalist
You, the journalist who seeks my gaze,
You, the journalist who laughs without knowing us better,
Look at you in the mirror
You, the journalist who exercises your power over people,
You like to be heard, looked at,
But you don’t understand who we are, really
Look in the mirror, twice instead of once,
Instead of looking at the camera like a crocodile that devours us,
Like a lion, hunting fearful zebras and unbelievers,
Sure of your strength, it’s embarrassing, look in the mirror,
We are more sensitive than you. We suffer for your presence here.
Look in the mirror, journalist, arrogant crocodile,
We’re not zebras striped with stupidity.
