Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Todo dia é o mesmo dia

A vida é tão tacanha

Nada novo sob o Sol

Tem que se esconder no escuro

Quem na luz se banha

Por debaixo do lençol

Nessa terra a dor é grande

E a ambição pequena

Carnaval e futebol

Quem não finge

Quem não mente

Quem mais goza e pena

E que serve de farol

Existe alguém em nós

Em muito dentre nós esse alguém

Que brilha mais do que milhões de sóis

E que a escuridão conhece também

Existe alguém aqui

Fundo no fundo de você de mim

Que grita para quem quiser ouvir

Quando canta assim

Toda a noite é a mesma noite

A vida é tão estreita

Nada de novo ao luar

Todo mundo quer saber

Com quem você se deita

Nada pode prosperar

É domingo, é fevereiro

É sete de setembro

Futebol e carnaval

Nada muda, é tudo escuro

E até…

Jamaicans for Justice launch a booklet of our Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms – made simple

Petchary's Blog

As I mentioned, Jamaica is currently recognizing – and in most cases, celebrating – its 60th anniversary of Independence. This is such a large, round number that special attention is being paid to “Jamaica 60.” What progress has been made in the past six decades since the flag of the “Coloniser” descended a flagpole in Kingston at midnight on August 5, 1962 (more about how Jamaica’s national flag was chosenhere).

By the way, the word “colonising”was used by Senator Lidia Thorpe, an indigenous Australian parliamentarian recently to describe Queen Elizabeth II, as she was sworn in with a clenched fist held high. She was interrupted and told to stick to the script of her oath of allegiance, which she eventually did – albeit in a sarcastic tone of voice. She had made her point, anyway.

Back to “decolonized” Jamaica. Perhaps this large number 60 has prompted some…

More than 18,000 refugees have crossed Channel in small boats this year – MoD | Immigration and asylum | The Guardian

Me: Fake Tory scare issue it seems. In 2021, 573,000 people migrated into the UK and 334,000 people emigrated from it, leaving net migration of 239,000 people. This represents the balance of long-term migrants moving in and out of the country. (https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn06077/#:~:text=In%20the%20year%20ending%20June,net%20migration%20of%20239,000%20people.)

573,000 moving in compared to 18,000 boat people… That makes it a made up fear and anti-people of color issue, does it not?
