I Don't Want To Be Magnificent!


LA ASOCIACIÓN MADRES DE PLAZA DE MAYO

Isn't it painfully obvious that maniacs are in control of our society?
Isn't it painfully obvious that we suffer like ignorant, cowardly slaves?
Isn't it painfully obvious that we hate each other?
Isn't it painfully obvious we care only for our own comfort?
Isn't it painfully obvious that male magnificence is a rich man's lie?
Isn't it painfully obvious we never listened to our mothers?
Isn't it painfully obvious we love being vicious?
Isn't it painfully obvious that we need to be punished?

You can keep your magnificence.
I'd rather hug my grandmother.
