Michael Jackson para sempre

skinhead, deadhead, everybody gone bad
situation, aggravation, everybody allegation
in the suite, on the news, everybody dog food
bang bang, shock dead, everybody's gone bad.

chorus:
all i wanna say is that
they don't really care about us
all i wanna say is that
they don't really care about us

beat me, hate me, you can never break me
will me, thrill me, you can never kill me
chew me, sue me, everybody do me
kick me, hike me, don't you black or white me

chorus

tell me what has become of my life
i have a wife and two children who love me
i am the victim of police brutality, now.
i'm tired of being the victim of hate,
you're rapin' me of my pride
of for god's sake
i look to heaven to fulfill its prophecy....
set me free

skinhead, deadhead, everybody gone bad
trepidation, speculation, everybody allegation
in the suite, on the news, everybody dog food
black man, black mail, throw the brother in jail

chorus

tell me what has become of my rights
am i invisible cause you ignore me?
your proclamation promised me free liberty, now.
i'm tired of being the victim of shame
they're throwing me in a class with a bad name
i can't believe this is the land from which i came.
you know i really do hate to say
the government don't wanna say
but if roosevelt was livin',
he wouldn't let this be, no no.

skinhead, deadhead, everybody's gone bad
situation, speculation, everybody litigation
beat me, bash me, you can never trash me
hit me, kick me, you can never get me

chorus

Sonhos

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today.

Vale a pena acreditar.

Os sonhos podem acontecer.

Acontecem.

Mais além!

O nosso amigo Frederico Rezende, que efectuou a 20 de Julho de 2008, a 1ª travessia Funchal-Selvagens em mota de água, acaba de chegar , desta feita a Canárias. Um verdadeiro herói do mar!
Quem, como ele, acredita que se pode sempre ir mais além, faz-nos a nós acreditar.
Parabéns, Frederico. E Mariana!

De pequenino, atento aos perigos

Uma instalação da Polícia de Segurança Pública, numa grande superfície, conseguiu atrair a atenção do neto de dois anos e serviu para mostrar, embora com algum excesso de realismo, os perigos que a estrada apresenta para os menos cuidadosos... e mesmo para esses...sobretudo se andarmos de mota e o nosso corpo for o frágil parachoques. Ele percebeu. Esperemos que, chegada a idade, se lembre da lição...
