Ero un consumatore [English translation]
Ero un consumatore [English translation]
I once was a good citizen with no whim
and minded only my own business:
i used to vote the already ruling established powers
because i feared some possible sorrow
i agreed with the master and the police
on a undoubted progress.
However my own peace was spoiled
for i'm so keen on fresh salad
I loved to put wholesome olive oil in it
i had no idea it was actually donkey fat
put together with some whale rotters
The oil is neutered,
faked and garbled:
my kidneys,liver and stomach got wrecked
to totally avoid
the possible trashy food,
i had to cut out
butter,lard, fat, bacon and margarine
and by dint of thinking, i ended up wanting
to try eating only chickens
boiled chickens, cooked in pans,homely
with water, salt, pepper and some flavoring
But fowls are fatter when gelded
and capons are gelded with hormones
this is not so healthy though
and thus i'm now changing
my gender
and in a while i'll be a female
i used to stay in a modern loft
with mortar wall view
pink marbled living and wall
red and green mosaics at the toilet
to my taste , the furniture
was in baroque and chippendale
but then i ran into a big letdown:
the flat was speculated
the enterprise, to reduce the spending,
used drywall instead of concrete
it got rid of the armor, thoroughly
so the fake cement walls
fell one night on my head
So, because of this unfortuned event
I ended up with ruined health,
my wife declined me her love
and I was left homeless.
In the middle of desperation
I found solace in religion
hoping to get consolation
in acts of deep devotion
but guess what
the candles were faked,
after a bit they got slaked
what a shame! Even the holy water
was mixed with some unholy one
and this got my soul forever damned
