*This poem is dedicated to Joe Snell, you will be remembered. Though the journey is long, with no guarantees
And nothing awaits us but struggle
We walk on.
Though winter’s storm is at our door
And we may never again see spring
We walk on.
Though our loved ones leave us to struggle alone
And our hearts are weighed down by the pain
We walk on.
We walk on for those who have walked before
In the shadows of plantations on the rail the railroad to the north.
We walk on for those who were dragged through the streets,
Buried in the sea, and hung from trees.
We walk on for those who suffer today
Crossing borders to live another day.
This is our life.
This is our struggle.
With arms locked tight,
Let’s take on tomorrow.
Para la liberación,
Mateo
