Day 23 - “It Is No Longer a Song” Julia de Burgos

[druidspell]

Song?
Song?
No!
It is no longer a song.
It is a battlecry.

A battlecry that breaks from a round voice
pushing edges,
slashing canons,
shattering tyrannies.

It is no longer a song.
It is a battlecry.
Proletarian battlecry
that erupts in unison
from all the mouths of the earth
to announce
the red impulse of the present.

It is no longer a song.
It is a battlecry.
Battlecry of living strength,
of men who struggle,
of minds that free themselves,
of free arms
ready not to fall.

The masses roar.
Think.
Are.
