I plant my poetry in the streets, in every quarter and every alley, a poem...resisting the conquerors! I plant my fingers in the streets, in every hole, in every flower pot: a finger...resisting the conquerors! I plant my blood in the streets, on every sidewalk, on every roadsign: a drop of blood...resisting the conquerors! I plant my dreams in the streets, in the heads of passers-by: an infant dream...resisting the conquerors! I plant the names of my loved ones in the streets, on every tree, on every wall: the name of a martyrresisting the conquerors! I plant the colors of the flag in the streets, on every house, and every window and door: a color...resisting the conquerors! I plant my children's luggage in the streets at every roadblock, at every checkpoint: a suitcase...resisting the conquerors! I plant my hands in the streets, on every corner: a firm handresisting the conquerors! END |
