Whatever happened to 60's revolutionaries
I asked my wife in earnest
B. Sanders stayed the course, she said
And it's now his turn to 'Bern us'
Madame Déficit
Marie Antoinette
Convicted corrupt coquette
"Let them eat cake" she allegedly said
Revolutionaries roared "off with her head!"
With regardless grace,
The dawn succeeds.
We, the midnight revolutionaries,
Are as loud as empires
In the calling black.
The day comes. Our words refuse her.
Tear gas canisters and rubber bullets
are hurled at their direction,
yet they rise again and again,
like anthills cropping out from earth.
The rains normally beat them, but keep
on rising and rising from the ground…
Land of honor
Land of dignity
In Africa a giant
Nigeria, a cherished home
Land of great heroes
Land of revolutionaries
Nigeria or liberty
Home of black
Beautiful spellbound nation
Pride of Africa
Emblem of blackness
Great black picture
Nigeria the marvelous
Races beauty of earth
Home for blacks
Home of harmony.
COPLA CINCUENTA Y CUATRO: This Bad Guy World
Today’s revolutionaries
Cheer tomorrow’s diehard tyrants:
New wealth old pose
Bad fruit engender not sturdy trees
Good Guys tend to slither down hot pants:
While world’s gods doze
Bad Guys feel good to be truly bad
Ill-gotten gains worth dying for:
Bad Good Guys lay
Even Good Bad Guys can turn bad
And the Bad Guy world all restore:
Utter dismay

Ancient battle
Beautiful field blood-red poppies
ringed with delicate dandelions.
Once a battlefield
the righteous, in blue uniforms
shiny golden buttons.
The terrorists of the time
were farmers and shepherds.
The revolutionaries lost the battle
and many more.
In the end, the rebels won
got their land back.
When the field is ploughed
human skull appears
rebel or soldiers, who knows?
Rusty buttons surface too
not of gold, after all.
