SILENCE

Coisas da SIL

Silêncio.
Quando vejo
Já percebo…
Não falo nada.

Risos
Quando sorri
Já cai…
Não penso nada.

Sofro.
Quando falo
Já superei
Agradeço.

Falo.
Quando grito
Já me calo
Perdi.

Atitudes afim
Experiências ruins
Momentos antes
Durante
Depois e
Constantes.

Estes são fragmentos da vida.

SILENCE

Silence.
When I see
I get it…
I will not say anything.

Laughter
when you smile
It already falls…
I don’t think anything.

I suffer.
when I speak
I’m over it
I thank.

I talk.
when I scream
I already shut up
I lost.

related attitudes
bad experiences
moments before
During
after and
Constants.

These are fragments of life.

En medio de las selvas de Borneo, una hembra adulta de orangután llamada Sidony sufrió una brutal paliza que terminaría costándole la vida. Sus atacantes, la hembra Kondor y el macho Ekko se convertían en los primeros asesinos de su especie observados por la ciencia, en un brutal episodio con truculentas ramificaciones.” Anna Marzec, primatóloga.
