BRAVERY IN THUNDERBOLT
(ANGEL VILLOLDO)
– What is better – to fear or to get frightened?
– To be ready is half redemption, that’s all I meant.
– Is knowledge not the grand mother of neurosis?
– Just on the contrary, you must ignore the causes.
– How to attain oblivion in the killing field?
– Simulation becomes a reflex if well concealed.
– Will it defeat the darkness to whistle a little?
– A lot might depend on the tune you’d chose to whistle.
To anticipate shock – ain’t it some contradiction?
Damn escapism! // Return to fiction!
Refr.:
you hear the thunder
the thunder is perennial
we must be sly and tender
but won’t ever surrender
don’t be too proud
heaven is down and out
wink at the cloud but never believe the blue
spit in the Sun
thy will be done
– (But) What can you do when your knees treble like a rabbit’s?
– It surely ain’t the proper time to alter habits.
– Can good manners protect you from oncoming peril?
– If you are rich enough they can repel the devil.
– But if it’s too late? What if it’s too late for defense?
– I tell you, demons cannot harm the one that repents.
– So where is the guarantee – in running or in hiding?
– Don’t worry, baby, you’ve just got to do the right thing.
To simulate safety – ain’t it too fabricated?
Darn egoism! // Bless the sedated!
Refr.
– Is there no exact method of orientation?
– The Ten Commandos free the mind from hesitation.
Aren’t words powerless in the Zone of constant danger?
– Of course they aren’t, they are your hired guardian angels.
– Don’t virtues outright invoke the unjust punishment?
– That’s why the great vampire of redemption is sent.
– Is The Party to restore one’s right to rule his fate?
– And to gather the few ready to leave the estate.
To invest in Nothing – ain’t it a monkey business?
Praise Atheism! // Prohibit mysteries!
Refr.
