Tears for Alejandrina Torres, Carlos Alberto Torres, Oscar Lopez Rivera and all the prisoners of war from the movement, Tears for all those that gave us vision through the rough storms, Tears for Juan Antonio Corretjer, for Consuelo Lee Corretjer, And tears for our beloved mystic Jose Lopez, The love for his people shown in the humblest of ways, From the picking up of trash to the enormous vision he puts forth, And tears for those that make up our community, Tears for those in this space the Batey Collective, The people I call my comrades my closest and dearest friends, The people that have helped me feel human once again, Tears for those who are faces in the crowd at actions against, And tears for the people of Vieques voices unheard, Tears for the undocumented workers that toil in the belly of the beast, With no rights with vocal chords that have been ripped out.
