"The Brazil We Want: a Brazil Where We Can Express What We Feel and Where
We Can Work on the Land"
Cleonir Jorge de Souza
I am the result of Agrarian Reform and I want a Brazil with free people, where
I can express my feelings, my anger, my dreams
A nation where I can continue
to live in the country, and take from it my sustenance, using the riches that
nature offers and preserving the green of hope. A Brazil with education, where
we children, besides learning to read and write, plant, preserve, play, dream
can
express what we feel, work on the land, play sports, take part in the decisions
of education.
There is so much that I dont understand, so much that scares me! Sometimes
I want to look big, but it doesnt work. Why are there so many people without
adequate living conditions, victims of violence, of exploitation?
I dream of a green Brazil - from the products we plant; yellow
- from the wealth created by us workers; blue without pollution;
white of the freedom won by us workers in the field and in the
city.
