Corruption and justice


The shock and nausea does not leave us after listening to the recordings of the negotiations of judges, prosecutors, businessmen and "remarkable" politicians of the nation.

The couplets that our brother Alfredo Mires Ortiz wrote some time ago and that we published in the book "Resuellos" feel appropriate.

Here, only a sample of "Un pais" (One country):

What rage, a country where
the corrupt becomes judge,
where the bribe is first
and everything else later.

What fury, a country where
life is worthless,
while the crime walks
and honesty lies prostrate.

What outrage, a country
who enjoys the fatal,
and to see terrible news
is national sport.

How horrible a country where
the future is pawned,
where oblivion is the guideline
and impunity walks escorted.

What anguish a nation gives
where peace is violence
where good is bad
and ignorance is science.

How amazing a country
that exalts the rotten
and that hardly reacts
when everything is lost
