"(...)To acquire a political meaning you don't even have to be human. Raw material will do, or protein feed, or crude oil, or a conference table whose shape was quarreled over for months: Should we arbitrate life and death at a round table or a square one? Meanwhile, people perished, animals died, houses burned, and the fields ran wild just as in times immemorial and less political." Wislawa Szymborska, in "View with a Grain of Sand"Fabuloso!!!

To acquire a political meaning
you don't even have to be human.
Raw material will do,
or protein feed, or crude oil,
or a conference table whose shape
was quarreled over for months:
Should we arbitrate life and death
at a round table or a square one?
Meanwhile, people perished,
animals died,
houses burned,
and the fields ran wild
just as in times immemorial
and less political."
Wislawa Szymborska, in "View with a Grain of Sand"
Fabuloso!!!
