¿Banalidad del mal? (ejercicio pensando en Venezuela) (Esp | Eng)

Impávido, soberbio, ciego,
ataviado de selva oscura,
o con su camuflaje civil,
de lentes oscuros él,
no puede ocultar
su máscara de verdugo,
que es como decir,
de cadáver.

Hostiga, persigue, secuestra,
ficha, interroga, empuja,
golpea, tuerce, aísla, encierra,
se afana
con su arma -oficial o no-,
su garrote o sus picanas,
el "gendarme necesario",
el torturador de siempre.

"Cumplía órdenes superiores",
confesó Eichmann, el asesino nazi.
¿Cuántos "eichmann", "pedro estrada",
padrinos del horror,
bienhechores del mazo, tendremos?
Banalidad del mal,
querida Hannah Arendt,
condenados de antemano.

Banality of evil? (exercise thinking of Venezuela).

_{"The phenomenon of Eichmann is that there are so many like him.
He is a frighteningly normal being."
H. Arendt}

Undaunted, arrogant, blind,
dressed in dark jungle,
or in his civilian camouflage,
dark glasses he,
he cannot hide
his executioner's mask,
which is to say,
of a corpse.

He harasses, pursues, kidnaps,
tokens, interrogates, pushes,
beats, twists, twists, isolates, encloses,
he works hard
with his weapon -official or not-,
his club or his prods,
the “necessary gendarme”,
the torturer always.

“I was carrying out superior orders”,
confessed Eichmann, the Nazi murderer.
How many “eichmann”, “pedro estrada”,
godfathers of horror,
benefactors of the sledgehammer, will we have?
Banality of evil,
dear Hannah Arendt,
condemned in advance.
