I thought I was about to see a falcon murder a pigeon. But those eyes say “well it’s not like I have many options…”

Cleanse your palate with a real tribute
Whether you’re a lady up in here tonight or a Fugee running the seas 'cause you own your own boat, the message just needs to get out: no fighting. The sex on parade in the video is a smokescreen for a deeper and sincere message from her. This is typical for Shakira, who bucked the patriarchal world order in the mid 1990s to become a superstar while still delivering messages important to her. Immigrant rights has always been a big one for her, which I believe contributed to her recent anguished tour cancelations in the states. Next up, let’s break down the lyrics to Poem to a Horse. The horse is a man, of course!
I hear “no fighting” from the same song very often lately.

They’re mocking democracy as our “king” wears orange paint instead of clothes. They’re telling the world that democracy will always devolve into fascism and Nazism. They highlight the nature of man to always seek absolute power while ignoring their role in tipping the USA into madness from afar. It is imperative that we stop the madness in the USA and prove them wrong. The battle has always been democracy vs authoritarianism. They’ve played us as the right is preoccupied with infantile notions of good versus evil and the left doing the same thing with capitalism versus socialism.

The stare sans slow blinks is them wanting you you to do something. The language barrier cuts off the meaning of the request and creates a recurring headache if you can’t figure it out.

There’s a famous phrase: power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. It’s guaranteed to happen. The theme is played upon in LOTR when both Gandalf and Galadriel refuse the ring, knowing what it will do to them. It’s the most important metaphor Tolkien put into the stories for a good reason. Peter Jackson made those moments stand out, as he also understood the assignment. Nobody is capable of resisting the call of corruption when given absolute power. You are not an exception.
