Dismal Abya Yala

Hundreds of ancient Nations,
 each speaking their own language,
 extinguished by fire, extinguished as fire
 by the Colonists, who escaped religious persecution,
 
just to persecute other people,
 just to take their land.
 Cruel as north of Black Sea
 Celts and their sickles.
 
Descendants of those 
who extinguished your Nations
 are reclining on your territories
 instead of making retributions.
 
The longer they occupy it,
 the greater is their guilt.
 In the end we all will be extinguished,
 but spirits are beyond ashes.
 
What was taken from you,
 you will reclaim.
 The spirit of God
 is commanding stars
 
as resinous chips in the lanterns
 of your forefathers.
 All powerful and holy God 
whose son was killed
 
when he became human
 by the ancestors of Colonists.
 God the Father resurrected him.
 The same God will reconcile all the grievances.
