From London to London

London is inside his house

London is white,

He is white, and blond, and has beautiful pair of blue eyes.

London love himself,

Love thinking about himself

And see his reflection on the mirror.

But London hardly never looks through the window

And when he does he hates what sees,

And he sees London,

And London is completely different from him,

He has black hair, and black skin, and dark eyes,

And this is enough to London conclude that London stinks.

 

But, outside, London knows he doesn't stink

And he couldn't care less about London's blond hair, white skin and blue eyes,

He doesn't like those eyes

He says they are ugly

Because they judge through what they see.

But, infact, he doesn't think they are ugly

Deep in his mind he thinks they stink

Stink for nothing else but for being different.

 

So London is not really better than London

Because London hates London,

But London hates London in the same way,

So they are the same

They think they are different,

But they are exactly the same;

And they  look at each other

But they can only see themselves,

Because all their lives are about themselves;

And if they can see only themselves

They can only say that themselves stink.

 

And that is what they do

All the time

 

But London is not only black and white

And neither as gray as people think,

London has the seven colours of the rainbow

Plus brown and some kind of reddish greenish aeneous colour

Which  doesn't even have a name.

And London has many sizes too

So it's very difficult to fit London inside London

Because London is larger on the  inside than the outside.

Others even say that London is inside out,

That London is too old to be fashion,

But London laughs

And replies innovating

And saying that he has never being inside out;

Maybe, in his most, a little bit outside in.

 

Definitely, London is not affraid of anyone,

He knows his history is not just in the past

Because London makes history as he goes.

And London is good,

And London  receives everybody from anywhere with his open arms,

Because the rain has never forbidden London from being warm

And if in some places the sun shines everyday

In London the sun shines at night

Because London doesn't sleep.

Never sleeps.

 

But, unfortunately, not everybody is like London,

And while London is so kind and human,

London is completely opposite.

London was born in London

And think London belong only to himself.

London doesn't like those who come from overseas,

London dislike anything which comes from abroad.

London hates curry,

London even hates the smell of curry

But he eats curry anyway,

because he doesn't have his own food.

And London is powerful

And he doesn't want to see anyone stealing his job,

Polluting his city,

Breathing his air.

So one day London simply decide that London must go

So London  makes up rules to send London away,

And now London are not allowed to work anymore.

But London doesn't want to go,

So London hide from London in the inner of London

And in there he survives,

Sometimes using of ilegal papers in legal jobs,

Others doing ilegal jobs without any papers.

But London survives,

Survives to hate London and all his power,

Survives to sell drugs,

To sell his body,

To sell other's people body,

To **** and steal.

Indeed, London has his own reasons to hate London;

For long years he had being  bullied and harassed,

And for more than one decade he had to hide like a rat for being chased like a rat.

More than one decade of humiliation.

Definitely, that wasn't the pain London wanted  to feel,

That was the pain London wanted to spread,

Like  he used to do when he was in his own country

And like he will do again

As soon as he hide from London long enough to be part of him,

Part of all his power

Part of his ideology and intolerance.

 

And this is going to happen,

Inevitably it is going to happen,

Soon or later;

Because London is not so different from London,

Actually they are the same.

They are London,

We are London,

Its walls and as well his flesh,

And, inside London,

For London

We fight London;

And it is a beautiful fight,

Because London has strength,

Because London wins,

London always wins

And if we don't see his victory

It is just because the fight is still not over.

Because London reborns from ashes

Like we know happened before.

 

So here I stand,

Watching the fighter of the fog

Unveiling the art of his movements

In this epic  battle

For an empty cause.

Here I stand with tears in my eyes,

Waiting for the moment in which London

Will choke on the champagne of his victory,

Because I know London will win.

Because London  always win,

But now, for the first time,

London will also loose.
