2005 Instruments of resistance

Guitar strings of barbed wire
stained by the blood of resistance
toughen the song’s words
carried by voices flying free from cells
across the sky into clouds
before the storm
Flutes of fiery lips
filled by the lungs of spring
carry the melody of dreams
into the arms fully loaded
across the sky into raised fists
for the storm.
Voices of just heartbeats
beat rhythms of freedom
through the prisons of history
breaking the chains of treachery
across all lands into the sky
as the storm of victory
These are the instruments of resistance
people around the world are learning to play
