>> Sala de Espera 6 – Makana – Quem não arrisca não… (Okupa com Aloha?)

Foi sábado à noite no Hawaii, em Waikiki Beach. Num jantar para ‘líderes’, entre os quais Obaobama e chiqu’esposa, que Makana foi convidado para tocar um ‘luau’ (festa hawaiana). A pauta da reunião era o pacto de livre comércio (essa é boa…) para o Pacífico. E foi daí que Makana teve a coragem de abrir o paletó e mostrar a camiseta com a escrita “Occupy with Aloha” – palavra que inclui paz e amor e começou a cantar seu ‘luau’ um tanto singular. Tímido e apavorado no início, sua voz ganhou força, cor e intensidade e a canção foi repetida durante mais de 40 minutos. Se a canção tiver qualquer impacto na agenda neoliberal para o Pacífico, não sabemos. Mas que, pelo menos, um dos seres no local tenha reafirmado, de fato, perante a superior indiferença dos presentes e assalariados ‘líderes’ neoliberais que querem prosseguir engaiolando o mundo, sua condição de humano indignado e revoltado, isso não se discute.
Occupy With Aloha
We Are The Many – Makana
Ver a letra da canção, abaixo.
Outra bela manifestação de indignação contra um de tais ‘líderes’ fantoches foi dada na Rice University, por grande parte da audiência presente. Belo e digno momento de suprema indignação:

Letra de WE ARE THE MANY:
Ye come here, gather ’round the stage
The time has come for us to voice our rage
Against the ones who’ve trapped us in a cage
To steal from us the value of our wage
From underneath the vestiture of law
The lobbyists at Washington do gnaw
At liberty, the bureaucrats guffaw
And until they are purged, we won’t withdraw
We’ll occupy the streets
We’ll occupy the courts
We’ll occupy the offices of you
Till you do
The bidding of the many, not the few
Our nation was built upon the right
Of every person to improve their plight
But laws of this Republic they rewrite
And now a few own everything in sight
They own it free of liability
They own, but they are not like you and me
Their influence dictates legality
And until they are stopped we are not free
We’ll occupy the streets
We’ll occupy the courts
We’ll occupy the offices of you
Till you do
The bidding of the many, not the few
You enforce your monopolies with guns
While sacrificing our daughters and sons
But certain things belong to everyone
Your thievery has left the people none
So take heed of our notice to redress
We have little to lose, we must confess
Your empty words do leave us unimpressed
A growing number join us in protest
We occupy the streets
We occupy the courts
We occupy the offices of you
Till you do
The bidding of the many, not the few
You can’t divide us into sides
And from our gaze, you cannot hide
Denial serves to amplify
And our allegiance you can’t buy
Our government is not for sale
The banks do not deserve a bail
We will not reward those who fail
We will not move till we prevail
We’ll occupy the streets
We’ll occupy the courts
We’ll occupy the offices of you
Till you do?The bidding of the many, not the few
We’ll occupy the streets
We’ll occupy the courts
We’ll occupy the offices of you
Till you do?The bidding of the many, not the few
We are the many
You are the few
