Belo Monte Dam suspended

Thank Goodness
there is Sanity
outside the
Western World
we sit here in our bubble
imagining we were hurled
along in space
and we’re the only
one’s who are so far
honest, thoughtful
and not judgemental
but that is what we are

Take the Monte Belo Dam
in Brazil, the Government
mad
allowing Corporations
to displace us which was bad
To dam the Xingu River
and force out
forest souls
the indigenous people
who love the land
and have visions
and controls

they care and have cared
for centuries
they live where they were born
they don’t march in with
powerful saws and axes
and much scorn
nor cut down vibrant forests
to make locations tense
to burn and release carbon
which proves they have no sense
These are The Forest People
they know each inch and can
look after it,and nurture it
which they’ve done since
time began
to flood this precious
oxygenation reservoir of life
and bow down to the
corporates
and their continued strife
was clearly wrong
and needed, to, just be reversed
and thank God it does
auger well for
Democracy seemed cursed

The Corporates were at it
destroy the lot the call
The Government was powerless
their backs against the wall
supported by the Banksters
who move the figures here
and there
and say sod off to us
and why should that lot care
Embedded in their mansions
with offshore havens, they
are ripping off the planet
and are all getting their way
The courts have said
this Monte Belo Dam
is wrong and cannot
be allowed to happen
a decision I like a lot
but we must not ever let up
for they have a lot of strength
and corruption spreads its fingers
far and wide to a great length
beyond what the indigenous
can ever hope to do
Unless the people have chance
The planets doomed
that view
I share with warriors everywhere
who witness and who see
The corporate clowns
pumped up with power
who have f***** up mercilessly.
