Manhattan Loves You
there are some who are walking on
a tightrope of inevitability,
wearing a persona sewn with threads of blind reason,
and cultivating landscapes whose
erected palisades are fashioned with words,
delusive cogitation that merely conceals their intendment
and assures their vainglory
meanwhile their hearts are failing by association
as they mold pliable logic and fabricate palatable coincidence
in hopes of unveiling a unique divine axiom
which only masks their purpose
i can only offer one simple solution that's not biased in any way,
in order to get what you need,
you need to take care of those around you.
Don't hope to know anything until you know you know nothing,
Don't hope to have anything until you've given it all away.
Manhattan te ama
hay algunos que caminan
en una cuerda floja de inevitabilidad,
luciendo una máscara cosida con hilos de razón ciega,
y cultivando paisajes cuyas
empalizadas erigidas están hechas con palabras,
una cogitación engañosa que simplemente oculta su intención
y asegura su vanagloria
mientras tanto sus corazones están fallando por asociación
mientras moldean una lógica maleable y fabrican coincidencias agradables
con la esperanza de desvelar un único axioma divino
que solo enmascara su propósito
solo puedo ofrecer una solución simple que no está sesgada de ninguna manera,
para obtener lo que necesitas,
deber cuidar a quienes te rodean.
No esperes saber nada hasta que sepas que no sabes nada,
no esperes tener nada hasta que lo hayas dado todo.
