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
