Miscellaneous
Eliminate The Debt
One billion people on the planet live on less than a dollar a day
they are not trying to break any records and have not taken a vow of poverty
Their reality is not a choice but their only possibility 
A dollar a day keeps the doctor away
in the sense that people do not have the possibility of treating themselves
and not even to inform themselves, they cannot study or even contribute
in any way to changing their situation
the economy of the countries in which they live is crushed
by such a large foreign debt that not even a penny
to spend on the development of basic things
health
education
the only resource the population has left is emigration
towards richer countries and then we know the story and know
often how it ends
I will now turn to the Honorable D'Alema
I will take advantage of the microphone to talk about this problem
who knows how many have already brought the question to you
but I would like to use the microphone and the television
to ask you from here to make a profound impact
on the issue of the foreign debt of many countries in the South of the world
which are suffocated by the accumulated gap
towards the rich governments of the so-called industrialized world
countries which for centuries were colonised
and then drowned in the sea of u200bu200bprogress which is difficult to sustain
br/>due to lack of infrastructure and zero decision-making power
at the not at all round table of the world bank
and the international monetary fund
cancel the debt...
Even John Paul II Pope Woitila
expressed his support for Jubilee 2000
which is an organization created to put pressure
on those countries that can resolve the issue
among these there is the 'Italy and I turn to you
President of the Council take advice with yours
and make a grand gesture of those who change history
if you cancel the debt you will get the glory
br/>and for a lot of families, hope
for many it is a question of survival
you demonstrate that politics is not just about making ends meet for a legislature
D'Alema join we must not be afraid
Let's take advantage of the Jubilee to start from scratch
if you cancel the debt you will help the whole world
do it first and the others will follow you
if the South it will not recover there will be no progress
but only new wars of desperation
humanitarian tragedies and overpopulation
you do it first and the others will follow you in line
support the Jubilee project 2000
cancel the debt
President of the Council I turn to you
promote a G7 meeting tell the other six
put an end to the colonial era
there is no longer even the threat of real socialism
which had in a certain way justified the need
to support corrupt regimes without any transparency
cancel the debt
Gift this pride to our generation
you are the first to start this era of transformation
if the politicians move then the bankers will follow
if you cancel the debt we will be proud
show it to everyone that things can change
I say goodbye and thank you and I'll go back to dancing
cancel the debt.
