World War COVID Guerre mondiale: From WeaponWorld to PeaceWorld; Learner, begin... De la terre en armes au monde paisible ; Apprenti, débute
We live on WeaponWorld. Why not PeaceWorld? How would that work? What should we expect? Has that transition been discussed to your satisfaction, or has it been suppressed? I'm slopping a ladle full of forbidden PeaceWorld Mulligan Stew onto your WeaponWorld prison food zinc tray. Next!
Nous habitons la terre en armes. Pourquoi pas au monde paisible ? Comment cela marcherait-il ? Cette transition t'a-t-elle été discutée de façon satisfaisante ou supprimée ? Je te verse une louchée interdite de Ragout Mulligan du monde paisible sur ton zinc de nourriture pénitentiaire de la terre en armes. Au suivant !

The Ink of Your Eyes, L’encre de tes yeux, by Francis Cabriel
Since we’ll never live together,
Since we’re crazy, since we’re alone,
Since they are so many…
Morality itself speaks on their behalf…
I’d still like to tell you:
“Everything I may have written
I drew it from the ink of your eyes.”
I hadn’t noticed you carried chains
Such was my desire to behold you
I forgot mine.
We dreamt of Venice and freedom
But I’d still like to tell you:
“Everything I wrote
Your smile spoke to me.”
You will walk a long time in my dreams
You will always appear alongside
The rising sun.
And if, nonetheless, I manage to forget you
I would still like to tell you:
“Everything I could have written
Will long bear the perfume of regret.”
But since we’ll never live together
Since we’re crazy, since we’re alone,
Since they are so many…
Morality itself speaks on their behalf…
I would still like to tell you:
“Everything I could have written
I drew it from the ink of your eyes.”
