A história de Maya - Apadrinhe uma criança pela ActionAid

Duration: 2:01
Updated: 29 Apr 2014

Maya mora com a mãe numa casa muito pobre, sem banheiro, em uma comunidade rural de Moçambique. Por causa do calor, as duas dormem do lado de fora. A mãe planta milho e um pouco de feijão, porém, muitas vezes, o trabalho de um ano inteiro só rende duas sacas de grãos. A comida é pouca e o almoço é quase sempre um legume com uma pasta feita de milho. Maya já está estudando, mas a escola é muito precária. Na região, não há irrigação e a colheita depende da chuva. O máximo que as famílias conseguem é sobreviver. Visite: http://www.mudeumavida.org.br

Auctioned - Dark Tranquility
Auctioned - Dark Tranquillity

Top Dark Tranquility, Auctioned

outsmart the fever
and take us farther from
the killing life in capsules
a life that can't belong
so if I wake up dead to the world
with the helm at my command
the reaching out of this
faced tomorrow in the 11: th hour
beckoned closer
now as nightfall sends it's grace
cue to enter the insatiable ideal
slam it shut but the portal pounding lingers
what is it; is time undone
cannot falter in the security of labour
was I supposed to believe?
where did I sign
did I miss the auction where my life went under the club?
went the half mile
wondered when the resolution would come
life became too solid
diluted by the essence of denial
caught in fire's eye
the self and filter that is I
my lip was venom
words formed in my mouth
hid beneath the tounge
never to be seen
where did I sign

Top Dark Tranquillity, Auctioned
