Por eso yo escribo

Les dejo poesía escrita por un compa guatemalteco que vive en Canadá. Su nombre es Spin V... acá en el video pueden ver cuando lo recitó en una aktividad que realizaron estudiantes canadienses recaudando fondos para HIJOS Guatemala.



POR ESO YO ESCRIBO

Guatemala Sufrida
America Pronto Unida
Marina Querida
Por la memoria de Luis Turcios Lima

Por Eso Yo Escribo

Por las mujeres que fueron torturadas en sus vientres
Por soldados de mierda que fueron peor que indecentes
Atacando mujeres e infantes inocentes
Pa que la memoria de nuestra triste historia
YA NO ME ATORMENTE

Por Eso Yo Escribo

Cause no one believes the brutality of our people
Cause Mayan priests were tortured under the steeple
Cause the 90% of our population are indigenous people
Who to this day have not been treated as equal

That's Why I Write

Porque lei Nunca Mas de portada a portada
Porque yo si reconozco la firma de paz no sirve de nada
Por 2 000 mujeres en el 2004 que fueron asesinadas
Designadas a ser violadas por maras y kedar tiradas sin nada

Por Eso Yo Escribo

Because our ten years of spring were stolen
By the United Fruit Company and the puppets they were holding
Because the violence is growing and I don't know where Guatemala's future is going
Because of the seeds of hatred the government is still sowing

That's Why I Write

Porque quemaron vivo a Otto Rene Castillo
Porque aun no encuentro los libros de Otto Rene Castillo
Por el mismo motivo que escribio Otto Rene Castillo
Para que quede vivo el espiritu de Otto Rene Castillo

Por Eso Yo Escribo

Because Efrain Rios Montt hasn't been jailed
Cause Lucas Garcia died in 2006 of old age
And not from a stabbing inside of the cage
They should all be locked up in

I'm caught up with rage

Yo Escribo and I Write
Praying that these words might ignite
Another revolution in South America
Porque yo sali exiliado
Puro refugiado
Because a mutilated body in a book i once read
Was the corpse of my mama's friend who was dead
Tortured, raped and murdered and fed
To the media for the whole country to see
What happens to Chapines who want to be free

Por Arzobispo Gerardi, Luis Turcios Lima
Porque seguimos trabados en la cantina
Chupando nuestros problemas detestando la vida
Sufrida de nuestro pueblo oprimido
Por eso yo escribo, te digo
El Pueblo Unido Jamas Sera Vencido
Venezuela, Cuba a Bolivia
Iran, Somalia y Nigeria
El pueblo se alza
La ola de revolucion se levanta
A los burgueses se les atora la garganta
El pueblo ya no aguanta
Despues del NAFTA Y el CAFTA

Tumbamos a los gringos con el ALBA
Gringo GO HOME
We are in the belly of the beast
Fighting to see you deceased
You have nowhere to roam
From an AK 47 to a microphone
To Rupert Murdoch's own

The revolution has grown
It was written in the book of life
We will win the revolution through our art
That is where this poem should start

That's why I write,
Because we will win the revolution through our art.
Because once united nothing can rip us apart.
