We're here because of you
We're here because you were there
We've arrived from every corner of the planet
to this nation
To seek the fullfilment of a promise of
America
We were promised a better life in our home
countries, where we were told that privatising
water and electricity will make things run
more efficiently
Instead the quality remained almost the same
and the price was increased until it
became
an unaffordable luxury
Some corporations are more efficient than
government, but their motivation is not the
health or the well being of the people, it's
only about profit, everything else, their
image, their human resources, their public
relations, only exist to protect the reality
behind it
Once upon a time, we were told that
nationalisation would prevent growthy by
limiting competition, that our countries were
nothing without the companies that invested
in us and so they privatised everything,
everything in our country was owned by
people that had no connection to our culture,
by those who never had our interests at heart,
they didn't care about our survival or well
being, they just wanted to turn a profit by
ra**ng our land, by exploiting our people, our
industry and our resources
They took everything we built and made it
theirs, first by creating racism to justfiy
slavery, building the capital for capitalism and
then when they gave us what they call liberty,
everything we had was still owned by them,
our governments told us that socialism was
the real enemy and that we would have
freedom, but the foreign powers and
corporations were the ones with real freedom
The freedom to take all the wealth generated
by our work and our land and give us only a
small percentage of the scraps from the table
Their lust for power and their greed drove
them to betray not only us but themselves and
the word of their own God
