Quando você for convidado pra subir no adro da
Fundação
Casa de
Jorge
Amado
Pra ver do alto a fila de soldados, quase todos pretos
Dando porrada na nuca de malandros pretos
De ladrões mulatos
E outros quase brancos
Tratados como pretos
Só pra mostrar aos outros quase pretos (
E são quase todos pretos)
E aos quase brancos pobres como pretos
Como é que pretos, pobres e mulatos
E quase brancos quase pretos de tão pobres são tratados
E não importa se olhos do mundo inteiro possam estar por um momento voltados para o largo
Onde os escravos eram castigados
E hoje um batuque, um batuque com a pureza de meninos uniformizados
De escola secundária em dia de parada
E a grandeza épica de um povo em formação
Nos atrai, nos deslumbra e estimula
Não importa nada
Nem o traço do sobrado, nem a lente do
Fantástico
Nem o disco de
Paul
Simon
Ninguém
Ninguém é cidadão
Se você for ver a festa do
Pelô
E se você não for
Pense no
Haiti
Reze pelo
Haiti
O
Haiti é aqui
O
Haiti não é aqui
E na
T
V se você vir um deputado em pânico
Mal dissimulado
Diante de qualquer, mas qualquer mesmo
Qualquer qualquer
Plano de educação
Que pareça fácil
Que pareça fácil e rápido
E vá representar uma ameaça de democratização do ensino de primeiro grau
E se esse mesmo deputado defender a adoção da pena capital
E o venerável cardeal disser que vê tanto espírito no feto
E nenhum no marginal
E se, ao furar o sinal, o velho sinal vermelho habitual
Notar um homem mijando na esquina da rua sobre um saco brilhante de lixo do
Leblon
E quando ouvir o silêncio sorridente de
São
Paulo diante da chacina 111 presos indefesos
Mas presos são quase todos pretos
Ou quase pretos
Ou quase brancos quase pretos de tão pobres
E pobres são como podres
E todos sabem como se tratam os pretos
E quando você for dar uma volta no
Caribe
E quando for trepar sem camisinha
E apresentar sua participação inteligente no bloqueio a
Cuba
Pense no
Haiti
Reze pelo
Haiti
O
Haiti é aqui
O
Haiti não é aqui
