Peace

The nation is at peace
for all of them
are dead.

“In the midst of our passion
we shall again speak
and renew
our vows…”

“…and words are the reason for the beating of your heart.”

“…sometimes, eternity
never ends.”

“…together we shall take shelter under the rain…”

“we shall unbind ourselves from the dark…and raze the violent night to the ground…”

when has it ever been wrong to fight for the right to land?

“…you are the anchor of my ship
and the calm of my storm.”

Every year, millions of Indigenous Peoples are displaced from their ancestral lands due to plunder and militarization. This poem is about them.

“…behind every teardrop
there hides
a sweet smile.”
