Oh you pretty _____ (fill the blank)

Hace unos días, escuchando una rola, mi mente divagó por unos lugares sumamente ignotos que alborotaron unos cuantos dogmas por ahí muy encerrados.

La rola es "Oh you pretty things” de David Bowie.

Antes de seguir, les dejo la letra, una de las mejores letras que he visto, simple, sencilla, directa, y con un mensaje que dice mucho más que lo que yo enmarañaría con mis propias ideas.

Wake up you sleepy head
Put on some clothes, shake up your bed
Put another log on the fire for me
I've made some breakfast and coffee
Look out my window and what do I see
A crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me
All the nightmares came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay

What are we coming to
No room for me, no fun for you
I think about a world to come
Where the books were found by the Golden ones
Written in pain, written in awe
By a puzzled man who questioned
What we were here for
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay

Oh You Pretty Things
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Oh You Pretty Things
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Let me make it plain
You gotta make way for the Homo Superior

Look at your children
See their faces in golden rays
Don't kid yourself they belong to you
They're the start of a coming race
The earth is a bitch
We've finished our news
Homo Sapiens have outgrown their use
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay

Oh You Pretty Things
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Oh You Pretty Things
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Let me make it plain
You gotta make way for the Homo Superior

Suponiendo que la vida pasa rápidamente, que a veces ni notamos que camina al mismo paso que nosotros, llego a la conclusión de que estamos casi muertos. ¿Fácil y rápida respuesta? Sí.

¿Respiramos? Sí ¿Comemos? Sí ¿Pensamos? Ajá….y… ¿Vivimos? Esa es la pregunta.

Dale ! qué la vida se nos muere! le digo una vez más al espejo.
