Poemas con botas y banderas
Poemas
escritos con lágrimas
de un niño sin pan;
con las manos podridas de un soldado
que no volvió de la guerra;
con el rencor de un negro
linchado por las turbas del Sur;
con las palabras de un obrero
y la angustia de una patria encadenada,
cumplid vuestro destino de los hombres:
prendidos de sus labios,
con el pulso de sus corazones,
marcando el ritmo igual y firme de sus pasos,
hacia la libertad.
