Summary |
|
(Poem immediately following the conference, in The Hotel Alba overlooking Caracas mountains, 5:50am on 18 October)
Saffron dawn glimmers
beyond the mountain's blue bulk
my shoulder's reflection infringes
on the window's dim report
So let some impact from you my words echo resonance
lend impulse to the bright looming dawn
(Poem delivered at the closing session of the Network of Intellectuals
and Artists in Defense of Humanity and the World Forum for Alternatives
VIIIth meeting)
There will come a time
There will come a time we believe
When the shape of the planet
and the divisions of the land
Will be less important;
We will be caught in a glow of friendship
a red star of hope
will illuninate our lives
A star of hope
A star of joy
A star of freedom
In thanks to President Hugo Chavez and the people of Venezuela
Dennis Brutus October 17, Caracas
