Belo Monte

The Brazilian Government is reluctant in building the Belo Monte Dam no matter how much rain forest will be destroy or how many indigenous people suffer or die.
Clearly, every megawatt produced by this project will be used to produce aluminum to sell to China and India. Perhaps one good way to stop it would be asking the other countries involved in boycotting Brazilian aluminum. A few Chinese organizations are already working on this.

I have seem too much flames
too much cries
a few to blame

nowhere to go
nothing to fight for
who is you
where am i
hidden in a mine

In the morning it is all the same
crimes committed
blood on the floor
what am i here for

Ashes in the wind
tears in my eyes
no birds in the sky
what should we try?

No music in the air
bitter smiles in their faces
murky souls
in dead places
