Declarations from the jungle
from the people of the maize
Forgotten actors with no lines
in the wings of the world stage
Their country raped and delegated
to the outskirts of mankind
Refusing to fade into obscurity
Their purpose to remind
And to reclaim a voice
for those forced into silence
Fighting with pride and dignity
against the corruption and the violence
Whilst people with the luxury of debate
just sat around and talked
These fearless ones fight back against
the oppression that has stalked
their people now for centuries,
Funneling wealth to the hands of the rich
A monopoly by the minority
This orgy of theft at fever pitch
Faceless revolutionaries
A black framed sea of eyes
Anonymity fighting celebrity
A safeguard not a disguise
Bringing La Realidad
to a world that lives without
And know that all around the globe
there’s echoes of your shout
I stand in solidarity
with clenched fist in the air
And i’ll battle along side you
against this world that doesn’t care
Countless voices raised as one
will tremble the castle’s walls
Countless hands working as one
will re-build once it falls
Thank you for the beacons light
you shine to all with love
And thank you for the heart you’ve shown
in fighting those above
