Pra não dizer que não falei de flores...

... à parte a porção "media victim", resolvi relembrar uma música que fez parte, há mais de dez anos, de um momento muito significativo da minha vida. E aliás, vem como inspiração mui propícia também para o momento atual.
Por que tem horas em que algumas palavras, mesmo (ou até) vindo de lugares inusitados, podem fazer maravilhas por uma mente confusa. :)

Man in the mirror

I'm gonna make a change,
for once in my life
It's gonna feel real good,
gonna make a diference
Gonna make it right...

As I turn up the collar on
my favorite winter coat
This wind is blowing my mind
I see the kids in the streets,
with not enought to eat
Who am I to be blind?

Pretending not to see their needs
A summer disregard, a broken bottle top
And a one man soul
They follow each other on the wind ya' know'
Cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know

I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change

I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
It's time that I realize
That there are some with no home,
not a nickel to loan
Could it be really me,
pretending that they're not alone

A willow deeply scarred,
somebody's broken heart
And a washed-out dream
They follow the pattern of the wind ya' see'
Cause they got no place to be
That's why I'm starting with me

I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change

(Michael Jackson)
