Poetic Speech

En sus manos la pasión y lágrimas de una nación| La batalla por la liberación| Ocultaron su voz| Pero su mensaje rompió el silencio de una nación| Canciónes y gritos sostienen su imagen y mensaje en la lengua de aquellos ovidados| El representa el coraje y el odio| El amor| Y el honor| El sudor construido por la calor que dio el sol en la frente de los secuestrados sin justificación| Este es el hombre que dio su vida por la liberación de mi querida nación|

Before one can enlighten oneself| One must end the suffering of others| With the vision to see far beyond the mountains| You saw and witnessed the conditions of the indigenous| The suffering and mistreatment of their children| The rape and indictment of their women| With the knowledge to educate| You took your gift and shared with those who hadn't the right to learn| Traveled across lands quarreling with the unjust| The just fleeing from the pain| To reach the beginning of the change| To conquer the creator of the pain| Taught them how to use their brain not only hands| Bare hands to grapple one another forcing freedom to the land| Your wisdom succeeded that forceful hand| Implementing equality| Your voice still rings as those memories stand up to sing| Bring all that is worthy for your name cannot be erased| The image bears the life| The paintings of your portrait bear the fight| The reciting of your words bear the plight|
