Gravity

A puta da gravidade
A puxar-me à razão
Só te conto metade
Nem te conto metade
Muito mais da cabeça
Do que do coração
Deve ser da idade, deve ser da

Mesmo não tendo fé
Rezo no avião
Quando me falha o pé
Quando não tenho mão
Porque não compro um cão?
As maçãs todas ao chão
A acharem todas que são
Sangria fresca de verão

Nem tudo é preto no branco
Sou bandido e santo
Mas só toco no céu
Se subir a um banco
Eu nem sei bem porque canto
Eu já nem a mim me espanto
Orelhas de burro ao canto
A ver se aprendo entretanto

Deixo que me caiam todas as manhãs ao chão, todas as maçãs

“And thus Nature will be very conformable to her self and very simple, performing all the great Motions of the heavenly Bodies by the Attraction of Gravity which intercedes those Bodies, and almost all the small ones of their Particles by some other attractive and repelling Powers which intercede the Particles. The Vis inertiae is a passive Principle by which Bodies persist in their Motion or Rest, receive Motion in proportion to the Force impressing it, and resist as much as they are resisted. By this Principle alone there never could have been any Motion in the World. Some other Principle was necessary for putting Bodies into Motion; and now they are in Motion, some other Principle is necessary for conserving the Motion.”

“How came the bodies of animals to be contrived with so much art, and for what ends were their several parts?

Was the eye contrived without skill in Opticks, and the ear without knowledge of sounds?...and these things being rightly dispatch’d, does it not appear from phænomena that there is a Being incorporeal, living, intelligent...?”

Isaac Newton - Opticks (1704)
