The words remain silent

but soon the truth will be Light

with strength and courage

the universal verb

it will thunder in the cities of the world

in the voices he will find the way

the freedom of human thought.

These words will be the swords

will be the different realities

the history and the future

everlasting clothes

worn by warriors

fearless men

archers of life and time.
