\/>\nFor 500 years they have peaceably<br \/>\nTended in Brazil<br \/>\nThe land on which ancestors died<br \/>\nWhere so much blood did spill<\/p>\n<p>The greed of corporations<br \/>\nThe improbity of man<br \/>\nThe murderers of cattle<br \/>\nFor me there is no fan<br \/>\nAlive who would now settle<br \/>\nTo see the Guarani gone<br \/>\nAnd the ranchers that have taken over<br \/>\nFor this action is such a con<\/p>\n<p>They come in with their cattle<br \/>\nThey clear the precious land<br \/>\nOf lakes and forest areas<br \/>\nWhich no one dare understand<br \/>\nInstalling herds of cattle<br \/>\nOnly to be killed<br \/>\nThey are murderers of life itself<br \/>\nWhere so much blood is spilled<\/p>\n<p>Theirs is not the way of freedom<br \/>\nNothing about this is fair<br \/>\nThe government is singling out<br \/>\nThe Guarani and their despair<br \/>\nIs seemingly so obvious<br \/>\nThey were guardians of the land<br \/>\nWhich remained forever fertile<br \/>\nBy their toil and by their hand<\/p>\n<p>These ranchers create methane<br \/>\nThe planet suffers so<br \/>\nAll these cattle farting and burping<br \/>\nWe all know<br \/>\nBut you Brazil apparently gave in<br \/>\nTo these ranchers  and they<br \/>\nEncouraged more disaster with their gunmen<br \/>\nOn display<\/p>\n<p>The corporates moved in as well Soya and sugar<br \/>\ncane<br \/>\nMoved the peaceable people gave them lots of pain<br \/>\nStole their land and forced them<br \/>\nTo live on land so bad<br \/>\nMany camping on the roadside<br \/>\nWhich of course is sad<\/p>\n<p>The improbity of people<br \/>\nTheir lack of conscience shows<br \/>\nThe guarani are now killing themselves<br \/>\nSuicide now grows<br \/>\nThese ancient souls lay weeping<br \/>\nAnd what about Brazil<br \/>\nAllowing these assassins in<br \/>\nNative blood to spill<\/p>\n<p>The infamy of all of this<br \/>\nThe roguery is there<br \/>\nDishonesty and mis dealing<br \/>\nIs  bloody everywhere<br \/>\nGuarani men and women<br \/>\nBeaten up and lost<br \/>\nAnd no one seems to care about<br \/>\nHow much all this has cost<\/p>\n<p>Yes you have your sugar cane<br \/>\nYes your soya too<br \/>\nThe corporates are stealing<br \/>\nThat is what they do<br \/>\nThe front line are the indigenous<br \/>\nWarriors of the soul<br \/>\nTaking hurt and taking wrath<br \/>\nAnd bearing the control<\/p>\n<p>These ranchers are a bunch of hoodlums<br \/>\nMany without heart<br \/>\nKeeping cattle exporting beef<br \/>\nBut thats only a part<br \/>\nOf really what is happening<br \/>\nBrazil is losing out<br \/>\nIs being pillaged daily<br \/>\nIn what is the eternal rout<\/p>\n<p>Never forget the guardians<br \/>\nThe keepers of your land<br \/>\nThose who toiled there day and night<br \/>\nWho were there to understand<br \/>\nThe ways of the great mother<br \/>\nThe natural light and sway<br \/>\nThat brought the true fertility<br \/>\nInto our world each day<\/p>\n<p>Now we see great swathes of land<br \/>\nAnd cattle everywhere<br \/>\nPollution  and no solution<br \/>\nTo what is the vile despair<br \/>\nMoney sloshing everywhere<br \/>\nPossibly but they<br \/>\nare creating<br \/>\nThe pollution and making people pay<\/p>\n<p>The guarani were your saviours<br \/>\nIn many ways they were<br \/>\nPut there to be always there<br \/>\nSurvival will concur<br \/>\nYou don&#8217;t get double dealing<br \/>\nYou get a contract price<br \/>\nThey work they love they care<br \/>\nAnd that should suffice<\/p>\n<p>In many ways they are innocent<br \/>\nUp against the wicked souls<br \/>\nWhose iniquity is evident<br \/>\nWe can see their vast controls<br \/>\nTipping them out of their land<br \/>\nAnd onto roadsides where<br \/>\nThey have to raise their children<br \/>\nWhere people do not care<\/p>\n<p>BRAZIL shares its corruption<br \/>\nThe Police are simply wrong<br \/>\nMoney talks it always has<br \/>\nBut it simply doesn&#8217;t belong<br \/>\nHere in these vast tracts of land<br \/>\nBeing lessened by the day<br \/>\nBeing ruined by over grazing<br \/>\nIts really not the way<\/p>\n<p>The environment is suffering<br \/>\nThe indigenous are too<br \/>\nThe corporates are raking in the money<br \/>\nWhich is true<br \/>\nStealing the fertility<br \/>\nFrom Brazil along the way<br \/>\nAnd destroying a great culture<br \/>\nMaking their people pay<\/p>\n<p>This is shamelessness and unrighteousness<br \/>\nDegeneration where<br \/>\nFertile land is ruined<br \/>\nIn such beauty comes despair<br \/>\nWe see it fraught with villainy<br \/>\nDegeneration too<br \/>\nThe land is being raped and pillaged<br \/>\nAnd its all down to you<\/p>\n<p>You watch your indigenous  people<br \/>\nStruggle with their lot<br \/>\nMany taking Their  own lives<br \/>\nFor what else have they got<br \/>\nWhat is left to dream about<br \/>\nWith nightmares at your door<br \/>\nWith the land becoming sterile<br \/>\nLike it never was before<\/p>\n<p>Genetic manipulation the American<br \/>\nCurse is here<br \/>\nYou allowed the likes of Monsatan<br \/>\nTo spread their ugly fear<br \/>\nTo sweep across the vast lands<br \/>\nAnd alter and disengage<br \/>\nWith the great Mother<br \/>\nWho has been  a driving force<br \/>\nHer rage<\/p>\n<p>Is coming we are feeling her<br \/>\nThe weather patterns change<br \/>\nThe forest and their oxygen supply<br \/>\nHow it did range<br \/>\nAll around this planet<br \/>\nBut clearing showed us we<br \/>\nAllowed the great take over<br \/>\nWhich really shouldn&#8217;t be<\/p>\n<p>And now we all are suffering<br \/>\nBeef is a costly food<br \/>\nThat take vast lakes of water<br \/>\nTheir operation crude<br \/>\nTheir  waste vast lakes of excrement<br \/>\nAnd their protein ratio<br \/>\nIs extraordinarily costly<br \/>\nAs probably now you know<\/p>\n<p>So you are losing the guarani<br \/>\nYou sacrificed their soul<br \/>\nYou have lost the oxygenation of the forests<br \/>\nThat control<br \/>\nOf climates you have lost it<br \/>\nAnd the natural ways are gone<br \/>\nPollution at an all time high<br \/>\nBRAZIl its been one big con<\/p>\n<p>i appeal to you for your children<br \/>\nAnd their children today<br \/>\nYou allowed the foreign invasion<br \/>\nAnd now of course you pay<br \/>\nThe guarani were caretakers<br \/>\nYou let the gunmen clear<br \/>\nYou watched their women raped and beaten<br \/>\nAnd live their lives in fear<\/p>\n<p>And the great mother saddened<br \/>\nSuck into your storm<br \/>\nThis  great vile transgression<br \/>\nWe now know its the norm<br \/>\nThe criminals have taken over<br \/>\nAnd government must be strong<br \/>\nMust be visionary once again<br \/>\nFor the ranchers they are wrong<\/p>\n<p>I make this accusation<br \/>\nBecause I know its true<br \/>\nHelp the poor Guarani people<br \/>\nGet land back helped by you<br \/>\nYou all know its been stolen<br \/>\nBy men who did not care<br \/>\nDishonest people truthfully<br \/>\nWho were very aware<\/p>\n<p>I beg you to now reinstate<br \/>\nThe lands and let them be<br \/>\nLiving in a land of love<br \/>\nVery peaceably<br \/>\nNot camped along the roadsides<br \/>\nAnd spat on by those who<br \/>\nAre damaging your countryside<br \/>\nWhich you know is true<\/p>\n<p>Never give up on people<br \/>\nThe corporate entity<br \/>\nAre monsters in relation<br \/>\nTo the real life actually<br \/>\nYou have the  precious Guarani<br \/>\nNow camped at your door<br \/>\nDo the right thing by them<br \/>\nOr regret for evermore<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A peace loving native people The guardians of the land The Kalova, Nandeva and M&#8217;oya How could they understand For 500
