Para matar al hombre de la paz
para golpear su frente limpia de pesadillas
tuvieron que convertirse en pesadilla
para vencer al hombre de la paz
tuvieron que congregar todos los odios
y ademas los aviones y los tanques
para batir al hombre de la paz
tuvieron que bombardearlo hacerlo llama
porque el hombre de la paz era una fortalezapara matar al hombre de la paz
tuvieron que desatar la guerra turbia
para vencer al hombre de la paz
y acallar su voz modesta y taladrante
tuvieron que empujar el terror hasta el abismo
y matar más para seguir matando
para batir al hombre de la paz
tuvieron que asesinarlo muchas veces
porque el hombre de la paz era una fortalezapara matar al hombre de la paz
tuvieron que imaginar que era una tropa
una armada una hueste una brigada
tuvieron que creer que era otro ejército
pero el hombre de la paz era tan sólo un pueblo
y tenía en sus manos un fusil y un mandato
y eran necesarios más tanques más rencores
más bombas más aviones más oprobios
porque el hombre del paz era una fortalezapara matar al hombre de la paz
para golpear su frente limpia de pesadillas
tuvieron que convertirse en pesadilla
para vencer al hombre de la paz
tuvieron que afiliarse para siempre a la muerte
matar y matar más para seguir matando
y condenarse a la blindada soledad
para matar al hombre que era un pueblo
tuvieron que quedarse sin el puebloVientos del Exilio
(Mario Benedetti)

Banksy (via nuuro)The people who run our cities don’t understand graffiti because they think nothing has the right to exist unless it makes a profit, which makes their opinion worthless.
The people who truly deface our neighbourhoods are the companies that scrawl giant slogans across our buildings and buses trying to make us feel inadequate unless we buy their stuff.

“I saw how the white, superior, plutocratic, civilized world founded its power on the repression of populations who had suddenly become ‘invisible’, like proletarians, immigrant workers, minorities who are not the right ‘colour’. Women. Invisible as humans. But, of course, perceived as tools—dirty, stupid, lazy, underhanded, etc. Thanks to some annihilating dialectical magic. I saw that the great, noble, ‘advanced’ countries established themselves by expelling what was ‘strange’; excluding it but not dismissing it; enslaving it.”

I Don’t Understand
I thought, we as a society, were making progress. Tonight, I’ve become disillusioned with humankind once again. Initially, I was laughing. Not taking it seriously. But thinking about what people say regarding the concept of “equality” and how we are all born with the same opportunity, is making me sick to my stomach. People do not understand what it means to be marginalized because they are ignorant to their own marginalization and that which they replicate for their lack of consciousness. How do you make people see aware?
