Não é questão de fé


"Pago os meus impostos, separo
o lixo, já não vejo televisão
há cinco meses, todos os dias
rezo pelo menos duas horas
com um livro nos joelhos.

Nunca falho uma visita à família,
utilizo sempre os transportes
públicos, raramente me esqueço
de deixar água fresca no prato
do gato, tento ser correcto
com os meus vizinhos e não cuspo
na sombra dos outros.

Já não me lembro se o médico
me disse ser esta receita era indicada
para salvar o mundo ou apenas
ser feliz. Seja como for,
não estou a ver resultado nenhum."
