Política Pirata. Pirate Politics.

Política Pirata. Pirate Politics. Por que este blog tem esse nome estranho, 'Política Pirata'... or 'Pirate Politics'? Para estarmos atentos da enormidade do que há de pirataria na política. Afinal, é a Política que faz a mediação entre dois campos de atuação do diabo: o Dinheiro (Economia) e a Guerra...

Desterrada a justiça, que é todo o reino senão pirataria? (Santo Agostinho)

O amor antes do poder Love before power
Então o Amor com o poder Then Love with power

Para destruir o Poder sem amor.

To destroy (the) Power without love.

"The Ocean is my church and my playground."

A política e o mundo só vão mudar quando nós mudarmos por dentro, e agirmos de acordo. E isso pode ir começando hoje; pense bem... Vamos nos perguntar se o que o nosso coração sente, o que a nossa cabeça pensa, o que nossa boca fala, e o que nossas mãos fazem... é AMOR... Nossos pensamentos, palavras e ações passam pelas peneiras da VERDADE, da BONDADE e da NECESSIDADE?

Bob Dylan: 1 - Oh, Sister; 2 - Simple Twist of Fate

Bob Dylan - Álbum Blood on the Tracks
Faixa 2: Simple Twist of Fate

Bob Dylan - Álbum DESIRE
Faixa 5: Oh, Sister

Oh, Sister

Bob Dylan

Oh, sister, when I come to lie in your arms
You should not treat me like a stranger.
Our Father would not like the way that you act
And you must realize the danger.

Oh, sister, am I not a brother to you
And one deserving of affection?
And is our purpose not the same on this earth,
To love and follow his direction?

We grew up together
From the cradle to the grave
We died and were reborn
And then mysteriously saved.

Oh, sister, when I come to knock on your door,
Don't turn away, you'll create sorrow.
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore
You may not see me tomorrow.

Simple Twist of Fate

Bob Dylan

They sat together in the park
As the evening sky grew dark.
She looked at him and he felt a spark
Tingle to his bones.
It was then he felt alone
And wished that he'd gone straight
And watched out for a simple twist of fate.

They walked alone by the old canal.
A little confused, I remember well,
And stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burning bright.
He felt the heat of the night hit him like a freight train
Moving with a simple twist of fate.

A saxophone someplace far off played
As she was walking on by the arcade
As the light bust through a beat up shade
Where he was waking up.
She dropped a coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate
And forgot about a simple twist of fate.

He woke up; the room was bare.
He didn't see her anywhere.
He told himself he didn't care; pushed the window open wide
Felt an emptiness inside to which he just could not relate
Brought on by a simple twist of fate.

He hears the ticking of the clocks
And walks along with a parrot that talks.
Hunts her down by the waterfront docks
Where the sailers all come in.
Maybe she'll pick him out again. How long must he wait
One more time for a simple twist of fate.

People tell me it's a sin
To know and feel too much within.
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring.
She was born in spring, but I was born too late.
Blame it on a simple twist of fate.
