Human Mad

 Makes wasted time productive

Lies seem true

Philosophy seem wrong

Wrong fate a certainty

Rivers of money

Back that weigh down before such immensity...

of this opaque, decrepit stage of our stupidity

We keep carrying unnecessary excesses

Rituals of false emotions

of technocratic sterility

The poet promised freedom

But it only exists in his verses of hope and disillusionment...

There is still joy to fill the void that is being human

This scar that never heals

This shadow that always borders our paths

That reveals itself in the deepest reflections...

A loucura humana

 Faz a perda de tempo, produtiva 

Faz as mentiras parecerem verdadeiras 

Faz a filosofia parecer errada

E o descaminho se tornar certeza

Rios de dinheiro

Costas que pesam diante de tanta imensidão...

desse opaco, decrépito palco da nossa estupidez 

Continuamos carregando excessos desnecessários

Rituais de falsas emoções 

da esterilidade tecnocrática

O poeta prometeu a liberdade 

Mas só existe em seus versos de esperança e desilusão...

Ainda há alegria para preencher o vazio que é ser humano 

Essa cicatriz que nunca cicatriza 

Essa sombra que sempre margeia nossas caminhadas 

Que se revela nas reflexões mais profundas...

Feeling Time More Deeply

 Inspired by the song "The End of Daylight" by Castle Hearts

It's especially about feeling loss

Constantly

Successively

Of lives that are fading away

Year after year

Lives you believed to be eternal...

That the newest times are getting older and older

Faded, deconstructed...

Leaving remnants of everything you've lived

And that you still hold on to out of stubborn attachment

It's about feeling that changes in cycles also imply losses of friends, acquaintances...

Who leave, for whatever reason

From death to parting ways

And memories remain

Whether in portraits you keep as treasures or in moments that continue to exist within your mind

Sentir o tempo mais profundamente

 Inspirado pela música The End of Daylight de Castle Hearts

É especialmente sobre sentir perdas 

Constantemente 

Sucessivamente 

Das vidas que estão se apagando 

Ano após ano 

Vidas que acreditou serem eternas...

 

Que os tempos mais novos estão cada vez mais velhos 

Descoloridos, desconstruídos... 

Sobrando restos de tudo o que já viveu 

E que ainda mantém pela teimosia do apego

 

É sobre sentir que mudanças de ciclos também implicam em perdas de amigos, conhecidos... 

Que se vão, por qualquer motivo 

Da morte ao desencontro 

E sobram memórias 

Se em retratos que guarda como tesouros ou em momentos que continuam a existir dentro da mente 

Regarding the end of the 6x1 work schedule and the criticism from the right

 It seems that the problem, if there is one, with ending the 6x1 work schedule (analogous to slavery), is that it would further increase employers' costs, especially those with "smaller economic stature," stifling the economy. However, as the right itself also criticizes, the real problem is not the worker or employee having the right to rest that is not limited to one day a week, as they seem to claim, but the high tax burden in Brazil, which "eats up" a large portion of the population's earnings. Therefore, instead of many on the right, stupidly and/or perversely, opposing the end of a cruel system of economic exploitation, perhaps simply because it is a left-wing agenda, they should focus on reducing taxes and, at the same time, supporting this measure, since both benefit workers and entrepreneurs, in short, the economy itself...

Ainda sobre o fim da escala 6x1 e a crítica à direita

Parece que o problema, se existe, do fim da escala 6x1 (análoga à escravidão), seria que isso aumentaria ainda mais os custos dos empregadores, especialmente os de "menor envergadura econômica", sufocando a economia. No entanto, como a própria direita também critica, o problema realmente não é o trabalhador ou o empregado ter direito a um descanso que não se limite a um dia semanal, como parece afirmar a mesma, mas a alta carga tributária no Brasil, que "come" um bocado dos ganhos da população. Portanto, ao invés de muitos da direita, estúpida e/ou perversamente, se colocarem contra o fim de um sistema cruel de exploração econômica, talvez só por ser uma pauta de esquerda, deveriam focar na redução dos impostos e, ao mesmo tempo, apoiando essa medida, já que ambas favorecem tanto os trabalhadores quanto os empreendedores, enfim, a própria economia...

True Political Awareness

The 6x1 scale is about to fall. It will be the current president, Lula, in this April of 2026 when I write this text, who will finally launch the bill to be approved. This is a promise he and his party have made since his first term, back in 2002. And what does this mean??

That I, who should be directly benefited, will have to bow to the great "Brazilian helmsman" and be eternally grateful??

No. But that's what people on the left preach: that specific gratitude is the same as absolute submission. But when a politician serves the population, he is doing nothing more than his duty. He is doing the basics, which every democratically elected politician should do. Furthermore, it is necessary, intelligently, to analyze not only one measure taken by a politician, but in relation to everything he has already done, or at least, to greatly broaden the critical view of him. Preferably, a rational view: objective and impartial. So, based on this approach, it's impossible to treat the current president as the typical PT supporter wants us to treat him: as an extraordinary human being, above all criticism. It's quite clear, for those accustomed to reason, that the PT governments, which have already spanned two decades, present a prevalence of results ranging from ignoble to very negative (increased crime*, continued serious failures in education and health, practically epidemic political corruption...).

*One of the causes of which is the rigging of the judiciary with "anti-punitive professionals" or those forced to act according to laws imposed by politicians of this same ideology.

For true political awareness is precisely about placing oneself above, not below, the political class. Treating them as employees, for what they are, and not as kings, as many of them would like to be seen and treated...

Therefore, treating Lula the way he deserves, according to what he has done, is doing, and continues to do in politics. Tip: nothing close to "based on the perfection of legacy and actions," according to Lula supporters...

Therefore, it's a: "Oh, that's good, Lula... Finally..."

"Thank you (?)"

But...

"...for that reason alone, I will not vote for you in this election (in my case, again), since, if your actions are not limited only to the 'end of the 6x1 scale,' your legacy of more than twenty years of PT governments and, currently, until the first half of 2026, has been much worse than your propaganda."

Furthermore, to conclude, true political awareness requires that we become clever, in a good way, than the politicians we elect or who make up the political class of our country, and not the opposite. In short, to "empower" ourselves as ordinary citizens and not to "empower" them...
