Blockade at Pimental Island on the Xingu River

On Pimental Island
the indigenous sat
an occupation
Is where they are at
the construction site
a new blockade
a peaceful encampment
their presence laid

keys and trucks
lay idle there
constructions ceased
most are aware
the consortium
who now build the dam
ignore the impact and
just slam

those first people
who live and play
on the Xingu River
day after day
The big bend suffers
water power
and the people
suffer every hour

NESA used evictions. but
a local judge said it wasn’t cut
and dried FUNAI will come
and they
hope to bang their drum and say
the authorities are on the case
a crackdown soon
on those who grace

the island by the coffer dam
where of course in spirit
now I am
Electronorte wants the activists
arrested and have issued lists
of names, this is the way it goes
Belo Monte, yes it knows

The common good
the indigenous rights
up against the corporate
shites
the law, the aggression
the possession of land
they exert their power
Its all be planned

To stop the protest
and of course, we know
we see Brazil
hijaCKED, and so
THE CORPORATE mobsters
take over the site
and that is the end
of what was right

The indigenous people
mean nothing at all
Brazil will pass
a brand new rule
and the corporates
will take the land
Which very few
can understand

Amazon Watch is by their side
Giving support
but who dares hide
the factor
that the corporate class
have got a needle
up their arse
indigenous people far and wide
can battle long and hard
but they’ll ride
roughshod over
the innocent soul
because they want
complete control
