Stand Up Against Poverty
Share
Today is the global day of action against extreme poverty, and around the world millions of people will be literally standing up as a demonstration of their commitment in the fight against extreme poverty. It’s the easiest of actions, but when 116 million of us do it together like last year, it’s a profound statement against extreme poverty.
ONE members take part every year, and this year we’re going a step further asking you not only to stand up, but to shout out and encourage your friends to do the same. Once you stand up, just update your Twitter and/or Facebook status to spread the word.
On Twitter just tweet:
I’m standing up to end poverty today with @ONEcampaign. Pls RT and join me #standup09
On Facebook, first you’ll need to become a fan of ONE.
Then post your status as:
I’m standing up to end poverty today with @ONE. Please post this as your status and join me.
If you don’t have a twitter or facebook account don’t worry, just visit the Stand Up website and show your support.
The last 2 years we’ve set a new world record, and if everyone takes part and spreads the world, we may very well go down the pages of Guinness again this year. So start right now. Stand up.
Thank you for taking action!

Do not be fooled by this little body with letrinha 1 in
italics, showing my name and tiny. Is disguise.
Basically, my ego megalomaniac like that name
was in bold letters, bright, bright, in
Times Square, New York, as indeed do some
TV presenters in the openings of their own
programs, in general, with their names in the title.
If you do not do any more for fear that by humility, more
by scruples than by ethics. I have an ego
size of a trolley down a slope in
San Francisco, unrestrained and full of passengers.
Believe me, it is easier to ride a bull in a
Dodge for eight seconds to hold my
wild ego when someone opens
the gate unwittingly.
The gate, moreover, has just been opened. ‘m Here
Hold me, biting, bleeding, sailing
the web pra distract me and do not release the demon of
Tazmania by a nonsense.
The worst is that the joy of the audience is to see the circus catch
fire and the clown is f.. der. The mere mention of that
I’m at gunpoint to leave my ego explode
makes the crowd yell ‘jump! pula! ‘,’, loose ‘
and ‘account! account! “.
Yes, because, as the food industry and
marketing not cooperate us so that the people thin,
the people does not help anyone to be generous and humble.
We want blood. We like blood. The color, smell,
the salt in the blood draws. So everyone
slows down to see an accident causing
other accidents and too much congestion.
Human beings are carnivorous. Compete for space
millennia. And now, we compete also on the web.
Compete, is plural of majesty. I compete.
Even if there is a first person
singular verb compete. Fuck. I know
what my ego wants indomitable:
re-co-nhe-ci-men-to.
The ego wants to be admired either complimentary adjectives and
exclamations of surprise. Whether many
clap clap clap, or ohhhhhhhhh! full
of gaz, or kissing, cutchie cutchie,
and well.
Tightening the cheek does not want baby, baby
dislikes.
Ego is baby. The child, brat, twat.
Ego is boring, greedy, nasty.
Inadequate. But it is there. Ready
to cry out for justice.
Mania inflated ego is to feel wronged.
Hobby big ego is crushed
on behalf of the law. You claim the right
when reasonable resolve.
Ego not samba, no left field.
Ego does not sleep, dying of insomnia.
Ego does not, pretend gemidinhos pleasure.
Who has ego problem, ema ema ema.
So I ask for help, beg, the
all who live with this monster
I drag the leash by the hand, my ego
German, with Italian Mozzarella, converted
Judaism, locked in a body-chested,
attached to a brain alert, fearful and
insecure as a child holding a teddy bear.
My head is all that my ego has to play.
And so, from time to time, my ego gets
my brain and kick a ball in the backyard
heart and scores of hand,
should be annulled.
My ego and my brain, in fact, live in constant
dispute and who loses the game, I am.
My brain goes in the balance, the ego mind the weight.
My brain writes a post, the ego measures both visits.
My brain opens the door, the ego is first.
In the car, the brain starts the engine, the ego accelerates.
In red, the brain slows down, the ego curses.
The brain wants to meet, the ego, finds itself.
The brain wants a love, the ego, you masturbate.
The brain seeks performance, the ego wants the medal.
The brain wants to finish this text, the ego blows
words.
It is not evil, just disease. Disease
illusion of every human being to want to be
ever loved.
Be continually recognized.
Infinitely applauded. Standing.
And, of course, with simultaneous
the entire planet.
