In full Anthropocene, let there be someone capable to deduce the Destruction Theory, through the artificial selection of the humanity, with all his wars and risky behavior against the planet balance

I asked my guardian angel
to make himself known
and sit by my side
he said no
cause his wings were shrunken
from the cold
and rain
and he was deeply depressed
so rather preferred to be alone
///
pedi ao meu anjo da guarda
para se dar a conhecer
e sentar-se ao meu lado
disse que não
por ter as asas encolhidas
do frio
e chuva
e estar profundamente deprimido
preferia ficar só

it is imperative that poets leave the shelves
where they are buried
and come to the streets to proclaim the bliss of life
that everyone ears and nobody cares about
History is made of bloody repetitions
and useless sacrifices
hunger and death pour out on the civilization decay
on the Internet everything boils out to a déjà vu
the surreptitious AI adds some fascination to human incapacity
the Anthropocene will end on Doomsday
nothing to do
not even hope has a place to die
only poets keep proclaiming
until the end
that everything could be different
but no one listens to them and leaves them on shelves
until they crumble
and dust gravitates in the universal dictatorship
///
é imperioso que os poetas deixem as estantes
onde se sepultam
e venham para a rua apregoar a bonança da vida
que todos ouvem e ninguém cuida
a História é feita de repetições sangrentas
e sacrifícios inúteis
a fome e a morte derramam-se na decadência da civilização
a Internet tudo reduz a um interlúdio já visto
a sub-reptícia IA dá algum fascínio à incapacidade humana
a Terra está prestes a suicidar-se
o Antropoceno terminará no Dia do Juízo Final
nada a fazer
nem a esperança tem onde morrer
só os poetas continuam a proclamar
até ao fim
que tudo poderia ser diferente
mas ninguém os ouve e deixa-os esquecidos nas estantes
até que se desmoronem
e o pó gravite na ditadura universal
