XXXVII
PAR(R)APHRASES TO BE ENGRAVED IN BRONZE
1
The future
A time bomb
2
Consumerism
A snake
That swallows its tail
3
A lot of talk about human rights
Little
almost nothing about human responsibilities
Number one human responsibility
To respect human rights
4
Return to democracy for what
To see the same film over again?
NO:
To see if we can save the planet
Without democracy nothing is saved
5
Third and final call
Individualists of the world unite
Before it's too late
----- --- -----
XLV
ULTIMATUM
Either they draw up once and for all
The encyclical letter on survival
Or I'll have to put it in writing myself
Weeps at the top of his voice
Your Lord Jesus Christ
Of Elqui
Domingo Zárate Vega
Alias the eco loco of the north
Hurry up!
There are eternities but not so many
The planet can't take it any more
