A poem of strength We are young people walking under this mocking sun Working and fighting statistics Fighting the bad mouthing that the young people do nothing other than talk In this land where equal opportunities are utopic things And equal rights are only good in the news, for the blind reader Our walk is followed by the songs sang by the street sellers The collector's shriek "Morro da Luz - Mutamba" With background music transmitting revolutionary message But we are no longer warriors Not with guns at least, our enemy today is traffic This traffic that steals out time, for leisure, love, and rest We are also tired of this old landscape, obscured by dust Fed up with promises proclaimed day and night Disgusted and worn by our own path Our dreams still live, but already infected by the cancer of time Our tears no longer drip, were tattooed, like in the eyes of Lill Wayne Our romance was left in traffic, we are faithful, and we sti...

Numerologia Três ligações Três+ horas de prosa Passada a fase das obrigações Expectada pelas três pessoas influentes Sumiu a parte espinhosa da rosa Hoje três palavras importantes: conhecimento, tacto, assunções-zero. Estando nós na era da informação Agimos com base nos números Confiantes que tudo é fruto da adição De factos e detalhes, até dos escondidos Nossa checkagem de factos sem presunção Combinação do uso de nossa inteligência e fé em nossos sentidos O toque adiado, exercita-se a audição e a imaginação Três desejos: amizade incondicional, crescimento em qualidade e realismo eterno A matemática não tem emoção mas os números não mentem Que a constante adição de probabilidades favoráveis seja pra nós o governo Que de obrigações nenhum de nós seja refém E quanto a contagem se maximizar E um milhão for igual a um Um único rumo dentre um milhão de opções Quando o Betinho começar a manifestar Memórias repletas sairão do jejum E calções imaginários serão pre...

The road to Calvary

Image
From the mountains of Lubango, a story of life and death emerge from the rocks, rocks that built the city, rocks that took life from its citizens, the rocks from Tundavala. Southwest of Angola, Huila is a beautiful province with 13 diverse municipalities, each displaying incomparable beauty, and waterfalls from Chibia, caves covered in crystals from Chivinguiro. These are exuberant symbols through which nature continues to amaze us; Tundavala is no different but at the same time its history might just contradict the earlier statement. An intrinsic volcanic fissure situated at the end of a road paved by hands using granitic multicolored stones, Tundavala is a breathtaking escarpment rising some 400 feet from the beautiful plain bellow, providing a wonderful location to view the sunset, popular destination for romantic escapes and a guarantee of good Instagram moments. Clouds can be seen bellow providing a feeling of standing in the skies, with abundant oxygen, plen...

Low oil prices, the good, the bad and the truth

Image
The continue decline of oil prices is an issue of international concern not only to me but also to the entire community of oil producing countries. At first glance the drop in price is a good thing to the immediate consumer, enjoying extremely low gas prices. Gas stations are maintaining an average gas price of around $2, however, some stations in Texas have sold as low as $1.40 dollars per gallon which. For the consumer each opportunity to save money is always welcome, these extremely low prices present an opportunity to increase the amount of money saved from gas to invest in other areas, this in turn can a have a positive effect in the economy because other business other than oil can experience a small increase in the sales. I a costumer can save up to $700 from gas an invest that in grocery shopping say in Walmart, that means more business to the chain of hypermarkets which could create more jobs and benefit communities where the multinational retail corporation that operates.

To change or to remain rigid

The reasons behind peoples actions could be attributed to numerous factors, ultimately we ourselves would like to know why we think in a certain way. We constantly seek outside help to help us understand our own reasoning but in reality we are all too scared to face our own demons. It has become fashionable and trendy to see psychologist that promise to explore the inner us and produce answers to our most burning questions, it is now a trendy privilege to have "sessions" in which people pay professionals to pretend to be their friends, costly attempts to find answers and reason with machine like humans who do nothing but let you fix yourself. It used to be ok to just, go out for a walk, grab a beer, play some games and find a way to open up. Nowadays its more about data allowance, 1 GB can only get you a few snaps and limit the expected satisfaction from the video posted. Feelings are measured by amount of likes, reshares, retweets, comments and amount of views. We all wo...
