Eventually usually help the social center of a parish near my house in Santana, in the North of São Paulo . And almost always there is a " campaign for Citizenship " in the parish with the support of the Archdiocese of St. Paul helps the homeless citizen to have their dignity back : a portfolio of work , an identity document , no longer simply a ragged the bus terminal participant " crowd of flagellates ," as the constituent Ulysses Guimarães , to be in fact a citizen , to be the " John Doe " , giving a further step to regain dignity.
However , last Sunday , after the morning mass , there are times did not help that social center . I went to check on him , see friends and colleagues there and identified a gentleman with whom I always talked when I participated more actively. And to my amazement , he remembered me .
He quit the drugs , alcohol , got a job as a construction builder on a building right there and told me that his dream has always been two things while on the street : " back to us " and have your home with the television he always wanted since it came from the scourge of the Northeast 10 years ago to " try life " in Sao Paulo - where only came with the clothes and where , after frustrations - like not getting a job - began to sleep "temporarily " banks in the vicinity of the Tietê Bus until the total destruction of his personality began to routinely live under the central span of the Southern Cross avenue , where over spend hundreds of thousands of passengers on the Blue Line of the São Paulo Metro , which unaware of the fact that they live down there .
What really amazed me is that he came to São Paulo with the dream of making your life , find the pot of gold d' other side of the rainbow - he believed it to be here in the concrete jungle in the plateau Piratininga . Which actually was not a rainbow, but the mirage of consumption. He dropped a miserable life in the " North " to try their luck in the " South " , which could get worse , go beyond basic subsistence he had, but to be a consumer to consume a stereo , a TV last generation and clothes as the character of a soap opera . he accompanied the pub that took a dose of his " evil " to be able to deal the night to come.
At the end won . As Caesar to proclaim against the Roman Senate " Veni , vidi , vici ." Will not have his name inscribed in history as the Roman general , one as a candango Northeast will have its quietest nights in nurturing what you came for in São Paulo : your home and your possessions .
Today , being a citizen is no longer " get through the alphabet ," said Ulysses as the promulgation of the 1988 Constitution , being a citizen is to start today by installment plans to have guaranteed social acceptance to society .
Marcello Brunella Aziz Jorge, 19 , attends the second year of law school and is in love with the area since " he can remember ." Also very fond of technology , but never lose sight of what is classic . Likes movies [ since the movies Renato Aragão even the largest of Marcelo Mastroianni ] and music of Frank Sinatra to Rage Against The Machine . Averse to patrols of any kind , is hardcore lover of freedom and ensures that prefers a good pastel Monday to a French bistro . Marcelo writes on Thursdays .
