multinationals

and the mighty multinationals
have monopolized the oxygen
so it's as easy as breathing
for us all to participate
yes they're buying and selling
off shares of air
and you know it's all around you
but it's hard to point and say "there"
[Ani di Franco, Your Next Bold Move

it's a sad thing to admit, but it's just the truth
and that's why the more and more
i am torn between the life i'm living
and another one -
in a place in which they are not arrived still,
in a place where i can really enjoy simple things in life,
living in harmony with mother earth and my brothers and sisters
- which are every single human being on earth.
what's this run for richness and progress for?
what's this trampling on environment, human rights, traditions?
THEY are killikng the beauty in the world
WE can do little to stop this
but still there's something we can do:
never stop thinking
never stop fighting
never stop being smart consumers
never stop telling the others
never stop loving earth
never stop loving people
never stop loving.
