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?

"Ninguém pode servir a dois senhores: não podeis servir a Deus e ao dinheiro"... (Lucas 16.13; Mateus 6.24)

"Mudar o mundo, amigo Sancho, não é loucura, nem utopia... É justiça!" (Dom Quixote de la Mancha, Miguel de Cervantes)

"Uma nação que valoriza seus privilégios acima de seus princípios, está a caminho de perder ambos." (Dwight Eisenhower)

John Cougar Mellencamp: Like A Rolling Stone

















Like a Rolling Stone

Once upon a time, you dressed so fine
Threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People'd call, say: "beware, doll! You're bound to fall!"
You thought they were all kiddin' you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal

How does it feel?
How does it feel?
To be without a home?
Like a complete unknown?
Like a rolling stone?

Ah, you've went to the finest school, all right, miss lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
Nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
And now you're gonna have to get used to it
You said you'd never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And saying "do you want to make a deal?"

How does it feel?
How does it feel?
To be on your own?
With no direction home?
A complete unknown?
Like a rolling stone?

Ah, you never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
When they all did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discover that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal

How does it feel?
How does it feel?
To be on your own?
With no direction home?
Like a complete unknown?
Like a rolling stone?

Ah, princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're all drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made
Exchangin' all precious gifts, but you better take a diamond ring
You better pawn it, babe!
You used to be so amused
At napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
When you ain't got nothing you got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal

How does it feel?
How does it feel?
To be on your own?
With no direction home?
Like a complete unknown?
Like a rolling stone?
