"I will not obey"

"No, obedience is an idea for people who would have control over you because they know otherwise you will not do it. When people call for obedience it's because they know that they are demanding that someone act in a way contrary to their own best interest or against their own judgment. Obedience demands that you either doubt or ignore what you know is right, which is how atrocities both great and small occur.

I'm afraid for children who have been taught obedience because we know that things learned in childhood last a lifetime.

I do not want a child who obeys. I want a child who understands. And when she must, I want her to say, "I will not obey."

I Will Not Obey

By Utah Phillips

The new ruling party is holding the aces;

The rest of the cards are all missing faces.

I'm sorry, I can't know you today.

What can one say?

I will not obey.

Give us your sons and give us your daughters;

No one is safe or immune from the slaughter.

How indifference makes them rage.

What can one say?

I will not obey.

National Guard or freedom fighters,

All houses belong to cigarette lighters.

But who hides in the smoke?

What can one say?

I will not obey.

Better perhaps to perish outside

Of the bunkers where our generals hide.

I turn away and spit.

What can one say?

I will not obey.

Give us the minds of your children to learn

The substance of books we have not yet burned.

But can they read the sky for rain?

What can one say?

I will not obey.

Soon all tyrants will feel our impatience;

We choose to create our own combinations.

I was always willing to agree.

What can one say?

I will not obey.

The essence of contract is agreement,

Not coercion or obedience.

And agreement is sacred.

What can one say?

I will not obey.

There are so few wars of people's liberation,

for the people have so seldom risen,

Only the armed faction. Listen:

The armed faction lies.

They recreate the state through their action.

When the people rise

It is not they

But the state

Which dies.

I sing this song for the prisoners' release,

Most of all now for the new state police.

You see, the guns have changed hands, again.

What can one say?

I will not obey."

Momentos.

Um ano.

Já passou um ano, desde a criação dos Pequenos Coiotes! Já fizemos tantas coisas, brincámos muito, conhecemos lugares e pessoas lindíssimas...tem sido fantástico e vamos continuar! Fomos ao Museu da Música Verdades Faria, explorámos as ruínas romanas de Freiria e do Guincho, vimos pegadas de dinossauros e apanhámos fósseis, plantámos hortas, fizemos músicas e desenhos na Ludoteca do Monte-Estoril, fomos ao Museu do Teatro...fizemos pão no moínho americano e conhecemos as ambulâncias, os carros nos Bombeiros de Alcabideche. Fomos à Arrábida, onde descemos a uma gruta, visitámos o Museu Oceanográfico e vimos o relógio do Convento tocar...fomos ao Museu de Odrinhas, ver escavações arqueológicas e peças romanas, batemos palmas e rimo-nos com os Robertos do Vicenteatro. Fizemos uma caça ao tesouro em Mafra, onde explorámos o Forte do Zambujal, a Igreja de St. André e a Senhora do Ó. Estivemos na Casa das Histórias da Paula Rego, caminhámos pelo convento da Quinta do Pisão no parque natural...Fizemos gesso no Museu Anjos Teixeira e observámos rochas, cristais e fósseis no Museu de História Natural de Sintra. Fizemos arborismo, fomos à praia e muito mais!Mas o mais importante: fizemos amigos grandes, companheiros de Aventuras! Desta AVENTURA! Que continua, com muita brincadeira, alegria e curiosidade! Um abraço a todos e até breve! Uivos, S.
