uma metáfora

É evidente que a esperança da humanidade está em quem vive do trabalho. Enquanto o ministro da cultura brasileiro fala em “tragédia” ocultando a sua responsabilidade política, chorando como qualquer plebeu sem poder, enquanto os bombeiros se debatiam com falta de meios também, os trabalhadores da UFRJ estavam, sem meios alguns a não ser as próprias mãos, a tentar salvar qualquer coisa. Metáfora de um país continente em decadência profunda num mundo em direção a um precipício. Nem os mortos e as múmias estão seguros neste século de capitalismo sem oposição.

A minha solidariedade a todos os colegas, professores, funcionários e alunos da UFRJ, ao seu reitor, Roberto Leher, homem de dignidade excepcional, que esteve recentemente em Portugal recebido no projecto da Fenprof, um amigo e um mestre da educação e ao director do Museu. São eles a esperança.

não tem graça rir do oprimido

“... a gente pode rir de tudo? Eu não sei. Tem coisas de que não vale a pena rir. Das minorias, por exemplo. Ou rir de um sofrimento real das pessoas. Não tem graça rir dessas coisas. Tem graça você rir do poder, você rir do opressor, não do oprimido. O humor, muitas vezes, cai na “presa fácil”, fica chutando cachorro morto e batendo em quem já apanha há séculos e séculos. Não tem graça você rir de gay porque é homofóbico, não é mais humor, tem um momento em que deixa de ser, ou o racismo. Não porque é uma piada que você pode tudo e ela não tem salvo-conduto para você ser escroto.”

Thomas Sankara

“Imperialism is a system of exploitation that occurs not only in the brutal form of those who come with guns to conquer territory. Imperialism often occurs in more subtle forms, a loan, food aid, blackmail . We are fighting this system that allows a handful of men on Earth to rule all of humanity.”

A ROSA DE HIROXIMA

(Rio de Janeiro , 1954)

Pensem nas crianças

Mudas telepáticas

Pensem nas meninas

Cegas inexatas

Pensem nas mulheres

Rotas alteradas

Pensem nas feridas

Como rosas cálidas

Mas oh não se esqueçam

Da rosa da rosa

Da rosa de Hiroxima

A rosa hereditária

A rosa radioativa

Estúpida e inválida

A rosa com cirrose

A antirrosa atômica

Sem cor sem perfume

Sem rosa sem nada.

Vinícius de Moraes

Women Who Built Socialist Yugoslavia

(An interesting subject, though politically biased, shows some of the work of the woman architects Yugoslav in the post-war period)

In socialist Yugoslavia, the woman gained her emancipation with the rifle. The activities of the Women's Anti-Fascist Front during World War II, which extended from the armed struggle to the grassroots political organization, promoted feminist causes and solidified the position of women in the creation of the socialist federation. With the transition to civilian life, Yugoslavia's first post-war constitution in 1946 unequivocally granted full citizenship to Yugoslav women, guaranteeing the right to vote for all citizens, regardless of sex, and providing special protection for the place of women in the production process.

25 de abril

Foi bonita a festa, pá

Fiquei contente

Ainda guardo renitente

um velho cravo para mim

Já murcharam tua festa, pá

Mas certamente

Esqueceram uma semente

n'algum canto de jardim

Sei que há léguas a nos separar

Tanto mar, tanto mar

Sei, também, como é preciso,

Navegar, navegar

Canta primavera, pá

Cá estou carente

Manda novamente

algum cheirinho de alecrim

“Tanto Mar”

Hands, despite some rude crafts, were cured with love; not smelled fine soap or toilet waters, but with well water and plain soap brought them without blemish. She wore shoes duraque, shallow and old, that she had given some points. " It was the deep and inexplicable eyes, different depending on the circumstances, that Capitu, strong and engaging personality woman, was consecrated, leaving the Brazilian literature an unmistakable mark: "oblique and disguised gypsy eyes" or "surf eyes" (influenced description by the opinion of his mother, aunt and an aggregate, they did not want the marriage), in the opinion of the jealous husband, Mr. Bento Santiago, alias "Don Casmurro".

monologues, my book of poem

every woman is a flower!

the flowers open for love

in the sunlight and surrender! 

they pour over their petals,

and from the fertilized stigmas

the flowers sprout, and

the flowers give themselves for life!

flowers die for your love...

every woman is a flower!

the flowers open for love

in the sunlight and surrender!

flowers die for your love...

life is so brief

I should not feel jealous

a life is so brief

for so much love!

I should watering our love,

every day

with small treats

verses

words

subtle touches

and a nearly inconspicuous

message of love...

I made so many mistakes

with my sense of justice

which only made up imposing

my selfishness ...

I can only think

in You

                                                                                                 Lisa

yo, sola

y no hay viento para llevar mis pensamientos,

ni la lluvia para ocultar mis lágrimas ...

sólo el sol de invierno que no me calienta más!

fui hecha de los sueños que se pierden en mis palabras

de frases interminables y verdades inútiles ...

estoy sola en mi canto

callada

triste

yo sola

quiero perderme en mí misma

sin sueños

con casi nada

yo sola

... sempre existirão

"Nossas montanhas sempre existirão, 

nossos rios sempre existirão, 

nosso povo sempre existirá. 

Com a derrota dos invasores norte-americanos 

reconstruiremos nossa terra até fazê-la dez vezes mais bonita."
