SAYS THE WARM TO THE COLD

Why to work as you do

if I don’t have the same needs

the same temperature

the same stress 

Let the cicada sing

and the ant work

Indeed

to sing is also to work 

Don’t patronize everything in your behalf

and why not to sing a little more 

As a matter of fact

I know how much you like

to spend holydays near by

Two chairs by the sea

one for you and one for me 

Seat and relax

 

sing with me my dear cold because otherwise we’ll became so much warmer that if it happens we’ll burn or, probably, freeze deeply together

in the opening of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, RIO+20

 

between you and me
