I am .....

I am the downwards journey of the guillotines blade
,

releasing heads made heavy from the crowns of Empire made


I am the star that floats blood red, above a field of black,


the people of the sun speak out with a voice thats taken back


I am the blood that permeates throughout the Delta’s oil
,

the violent dance of poets feet above the blackened soil


I am the bodies bloodied, draped on tombs in Santa Cruz
,

the blood that soaks the earth for many becomes the fires muse


I am Zapata’s spirit, grave bound with legs that never bent,


a commitment carved on souls about just how a life is spent


I am Allende’s last address, with the gunshots growing near
,

a defiant act of sacrifice, a love that shone so clear


I am every ransom thats been made on Somalia’s wastebin sea’s,


a peoples answer to those with plenty doing what they please


I am Toussaint’s rebellion, new birth through liberation’s throes,


a nation given freedom, though still marred by Empires blows


I am the shrouds of martyrs, fallen fighting for the cause,


choosing to give all that they have, not selling it like w****s


I am the fist that clenches, rising high above the heads
,

that rage that takes us to the streets whilst most lay warm in beds


I am the hope that sheds its light in the dark parts of a heart
,

that single step thats made by which a life’s journey will start


 

I am the stone in the children’s hands, tank-wards bound in Gaza


I am the single roar from many mouths in Tahrir Plaza


I am the Boxer’s legacy, fighting corrupted foreign powers


I am those facing cells for freedom, those long and lonely hours


I am the message Nat Turner heard, that cry to break the yoke


I am that final straw from which the camels back was broke


I am the love that feeds a soul, and hatreds eternal bane


I am the flame that flickers bright within the pouring rain


I am the fire deep inside that see’s one fight until the death
,

the fight for freedom and equal rights for all those drawing breath
