Rules and Regulation
There is the third wave of Corona 19 in Portugal, peoples at
old people’s homes have been vaccinated, but now it has stalled.
So, what is the problem?
Why are people reluctant to follow the rules and regulations?
I think it is because Portugal lived under a dictatorship for 50 years,
when freedom came lifted the heavy burden, and now they are not
going to give this freedom away for anyone.
The dictate from politicians is often ignored, the question is, what
will happen after the pandemic?
Will the new rules still apply to give the politicians more power?
and the police force the right to behave nastily.
The freedom is an illusion, and the right-wing guard is back in power,
giving the political party a prefix of social this.
While privatizing water and electricity,
people cannot afford to heat their homes.
But there are moments when we have to forego the “Democracy.”
for the common good, but be sure to take the freedom back.
It is just days since you are in my floor
It is just days again I am in pain
My friendship is free, but my love is all me
I don’t want to make you cry and hate men more
I want you to be happy, but can’t give it to you
If it was for a moment, I would have tried, but I don’t have what you want
It is shared with my family, and don’t want to take it away from them
Tasting me might be simple, but what if you refuse to go
Privatizing me after that try would be a crime
I am floating in your mind for days, believe me, I feel the same
But I have a wife and kids; I swear to be with them
They need my presence, love, and protection
I am for them as God is for me despite my sins
It is not easy to let go, I am not ready
Let’s be friend if you can and put love to a deep sleep
I am not ready to get blame in the eyes of the World and God
You fight for what you need which is great, I love your effort
What about my kids, you seem don’t care
I don’t need a good time, but love
I am sorry I have enough from my family
I don’t want other men to get blame for my action
For days! Cry, pain, and fear are against me
What I have for my family is more than that, I am sorry
Can I take on a new identity?
One I’m not even familiar to begin
Like privatizing officially
When to lose is to finally win
I have always wanted to live like someone
Someone else I can never be
Yet I am to myself I cannot run
Have you a someone else you wanna see?
Forever is life incomprehensible
We never love what we achieve
Always a need for more commendable
Whence from or rather later to believe?
Its always easier to be someone
Forgetting flaws to only see beauty
Perhaps an excuse to simply run
Or simply exposure searching for obscurity
Did someone want to be me?
Does it not make you wonder?
Why me when so many others you can be
Isn’t this to be someone forever?
