Condeno a los heteros semánticos
sin embargo, soy uno de ellos
no nos queda otro remedio
convivir con todos aquellos,
para evitar andar peleando
con más de un petulante
cuya meta a toda costa
es ir pisoteando al brillante,
a cambio de regalarse
la mejor membrecía en la vida
sin importarle siquiera
la forma de conseguirla.
Cómo podemos actuar
conforme a nuestros principios
en medio de tantos mentecatos
que carecen de los mismos,
y con malicia proceden
maltratando a sus semejantes
con vanidad y desprecio
fanfarroneando, escalofriantes,
pretendiendo ser superiores
honestos y diferentes
engreídos presuntuosos
mezquinos negligentes.
Cómo hacer para entenderlos
y perdonar sus ofensas
como si nada pasara
tirando las primeras piedras,
de culpa y cargo sus mañas
sus falaces convicciones
sus engaños y trolas
sus oscuras tribulaciones,
insensibles y astutos taimados
combatientes y odiosos
disfrazados de gentiles
para engatusar al prójimo.
La razón es muy sencilla
la sociedad nos enseña
a fruncir el ceño
a fingir con una mueca,
Como dice la canción:
“Ante la gente, oculto mi derrota
payaso con careta de alegría”
Payaso de Fernando Maldonado.
con señales evidentes
de que nada bueno pasa
pues, si la causa lo amerita
la sociedad lo disfraza,
como Rubén Blade nos muestra
“maestra vida camara`a
te da, te quita, te quita y te da
vi el hambre, la miseria entre el drama y la comedia.”
Con normas de urbanidad
disfrazando el mal trato
con reglas de cortesía
semejante fariseísmo.
Preamble
Dear English-speaking virtual friends, I apologise in advance because I am aware that a poem translated from Spanish into English loses its meaning, rhythm and metrical structure. I used the online tool DeepL Pro and gave it a personal touch according to my knowledge of the English language, but I could not construct the corresponding rhymes.
I condemn the hetero semanticists
however, I am one of them
we have no other choice
to live with all of them,
in order to avoid fighting
with more than one petulant
whose goal at all costs
is to trample on the brilliant,
in exchange for giving themselves
the best membership in life
without even caring
how to get it.
How can we act
according to our principles
in the midst of so many simpletons
who lack them,
and maliciously proceed
mistreating their fellow men
with vanity and contempt
boasting, chilling,
pretending to be superior
honest and different
conceited presumptuous
petty negligent.
How to understand them
and forgive their offences
as if nothing happened
throwing the first stones,
of guilt and charge their wicked ways
their fallacious convictions
their deceit and deceitfulness
their dark tribulations,
insensitive and crafty devious
combative and hateful
disguised as gentiles
to persuade their neighbours.
The reason is straightforward
society teaches us
to frown
to pretend with a grimace,
As the song goes:
“Before the people, I hide my defeat
clown with a mask of joy”.
Clown by Fernando Maldonado.
with obvious signs
that nothing good happens
for, if the case merits it
society disguises it,
as Ruben Blade shows us
“Master life comrade
gives you, takes you away, takes you and gives you
I saw hunger and misery between drama and comedy”.
With rules of civility
disguising bad treatment
with rules of politeness
such Pharisaism.
