(A
TRIBUTE TO FEDERIGO GARCIA LORCA)
Rebels
are not always the folks
Wearing
black clothes,
Holding
flags of protest in their hands,
Shouting
sharp slogans
Every
now and then
In an incensed crowd,
It’s not often that
They can be made out easily, due to
Their clenched fists,
Their rambunctious yells of fury,
Their impassioned harangues,
Their incisive war calls for freeing
Countless budding dreams
And crops of anxious hopes
Caged by iron-curtained tyranny
It’s not often that
They can be made out easily, due to
Their clenched fists,
Their rambunctious yells of fury,
Their impassioned harangues,
Their incisive war calls for freeing
Countless budding dreams
And crops of anxious hopes
Caged by iron-curtained tyranny
Rebels
do not always wear
The
signs of resistance
On their
faces,
But
they burn with
An
anger, an anxiety, a discontent,
A
deep thirst,
Seething
in
Their
introvert conduct and tacit traits,
Waiting
to explode like
Torrents, humongous, irrepressible,
When
the time comes calling for
The
collapse of
Impervious
Bastilles’
