Civilización

Plowed fields, stripped hillsides
What a contradiction
What you’ve given me, you’ve taken back
Civilization

I’m not blaming you, just refusing
That condition
To be the prey of those who feed
Only their ambition

I’m not complaining about your progress
Civilization
But your steps walk hand in hand
With irrationality

I don’t want to see you bring death
Desolation
I want a life without a wound
In my heart

Technology, ideology
What a society
So many buildings, what a waste
People without homes

Where the one who waits grows desperate
Always in solitude
So much selfishness, only to the abyss
Can push us down

I’m not complaining about your progress
Civilization
But your steps walk hand in hand
With irrationality

So much consumption, skies filled with smoke
What an evolution
I don’t want to see you bring death
Desolation

How I wish you would learn
Civilization
That the good of a few is the harm of all
Civilization
