Music Score: Occupying Wall Street














Lots of people thought that the protests happening in many world countries would never reach the US, maybe there's some stereotyped sort of concept about US people. Changes, or the will for changing, doesn't know much about frontiers, we may tag it differently in each country: 15M somewhere, Arab Spring otherwhere, Spanish Revolution here, Occupy Wall Street there; but it all comes to the same purpose: the weariness being felt by a big part of the citizens against their governors (and not just talking about politicians here) and the frustrating situation in which so many world countries are suited today (of course each one with its own particularities).

People is out in the streets asking for some Power to the People, for governors to rule and work for citizens instead of mainly doing so for the big companies which, by the current model, aren't just the driving force of our economies (which to some point could be logical) but also have become the driving force of humanity. Seems as if step by step, we start to open our eyes to the truth, we've been blindfolded during so long, sometimes imposed but let's admit it, we sometimes were the ones blindfolding ourselves led by comfort and convenience. This has now just started in the US and it seems as it's spreading from NYC to other US cities... it'll be interesting to observe how the facts develop now that the "Big Brother" has awaken.
