A moldura

Não quero ser a linda moldura,
Que faz a fronteira entre esta tela e o nada.

Não quero ser a linda moldura,
Que rouba da tela seu real sentido.

Quero simplesmente ser a tela, simples e pura.
Onde o meu povo livremente se expressa em borrões de liberdade, de raiva, de angústia, de tudo!

Quero ser a pintura abstracta que é o que o povo espera dos governantes, quero mostrar as cores do que o meu povo quer, num degradê de sentimentos opostos, de paralelos e contradições.

Quero ser a pintura abstracta, que toca cada um de vocês de maneira diferente, mas que ao menos vos toca.

Governar não é nada mais, nada menos do que interpretar esta tela, que é a aspiração de um povo, cada um interpreta como a vê! Mas por de trás de cada interpretação estão as fundações do que são os que hoje nos governam.

Pela pátria ou pelo prestígio? Horta, como interpretas as cores que vez? Serás tu a tela ou a moldura, que se troca de uma tela para outra?

Mau Seran

Timor fury after police told to strip

AN AUSTRALIAN federal policeman demanded that a senior East Timorese police officer take off his uniform in public, in an incident that has angered Timorese politicians and could lead to a diplomatic protest.

East Timor parliamentary president Francisco Guterres, yesterday described the alleged behaviour of the unidentified Australian officer as an abuse of East Timor's rights as an independent country.

In an unprecedented move, Mr Guterres has summoned Timorese Interior Minister Alcino Barris to the Parliament today to explain what happened.

"All members of parliament want to complain about this," Mr Guterres said.

East Timor police academy chief Julio Hornai told The Age yesterday that he was "humiliated" by the incident, which "violated the dignity of East Timor".

"I don't have a problem with the Australian police who came to help solve our problems," Inspector Hornai said. "But it doesn't mean that they can come here and not respect us."

Inspector Hornai said that late on Saturday afternoon, he was driving a police vehicle along one of Dili's main streets when it was stopped by an Australian Federal Police LandCruiser carrying two Australian officers and two Malaysian soldiers.

One of the Australians confronted him, saying that he and seven other Timorese police in the vehicle should not be wearing police uniforms.

Mr Hornai said he tried to explain to the Australian that he and his men were returning to the academy after attending briefings at police headquarters.

Also present at the briefings was UN special representative Sukehiro Hasegawa.

Mr Hornai said that Mr Barris, who was also present, had ordered him and his men to attend the briefing in uniform.

But Mr Hornai said the Australian demanded that he take off his uniform, as a crowd of about 40 onlookers gathered nearby.

Mr Hornai said he removed the top part of his uniform and tried to hand it to the Australian.

"I felt humiliated … people were watching," he said. "The Australian then said put the uniform in the vehicle and they would escort us to the academy."

Mr Hornai said that when one of his officers got out near his home, the Australian demanded that he take off his uniform.

"The agent took it off in the middle of the road … in full view of the public," he said.

Antero Lopes, head of the international police in East Timor, last night described the incident as a "very sensitive situation".

Mr Lopes said the commander of the AFP in Dili "assured me that no AFP officer under his command has stripped a PNTL (Timorese police) officer of their uniform".

However, directives under bilateral arrangements with the international forces in Dili stipulate that Timorese police should be "restrained" in their use of their uniforms, he said.

The UN supports these precautions because there are "animosities among certain sections of the population against certain PNTL officers".

The police academy was the only police body that did not disintegrate when violence erupted in Dili in late April.

Under Inspector Hornai's command, the academy's 80 instructors and 283 police cadets did not join in the violence.

Mr Hornai has served as a policeman for 16 years, 10 of them under Indonesia's rule.

The academy will be the centre-point of efforts by the UN to rebuild the force of 3000.

Australia's 200-strong police contingent in East Timor is struggling to curb street gang violence, which left seven Australians injured last week.

On Sunday, gangs burnt 10 houses in the Comoro district.

Parabéns, Mau Seran, por revelar o seu estado de alma. É bom ler algum sentimento, para variar da frieza das notícias. Espero que o seu texto poético faça despertar as consciências adormecidas.

Ora essa!!!

As vezes faz poesia como se fosse poetico

As vezes faz e esplica a constituicao como se fosse doutor da Lei e
As vezes anda a insultar e difamar.

Quem es na realidade Mau seran? Poetico, doutor da lei, ou malcriado? Ou um cobarde que anda criticar por traz?


Mau Seran... Mau Seran....

Mau Seran, continue, até que a voz te doa!

"Apesar de frágil, Timor-Leste é uma jovem democracia em que acreditamos. É o país que escolhemos para viver e trabalhar. Desde dia 28 de Abril muito se tem dito sobre a situação em Timor-Leste. Boatos, rumores, alertas, declarações de países estrangeiros, inocentes ou não, têm servido para transmitir um clima de conflito e insegurança que não corresponde ao que vivemos. Vamos tentar transmitir o que se passa aqui. Não o que ouvimos dizer... "
