“In Jangurussu the heirs of hunger lay the obtuse borders of idleness
Partners in hope and misery the garbage collectors in Jangurussu feed servitude
Buried by exploiters they hide their pains in the swamp of exploited objects
Disfranchised and disowned they dream with a life of green and ruminate the immeasurable stinginess.”
Dimas Macedo, Jangurussu, Lavoura Úmida, 1990
